Verse 1
You were never part of my story,
or at least that's what I believed.
Just a face among the strangers,
someone I would never need.
Then I saw you by the shoreline,
with the sunlight in your eyes.
And somehow that little moment
stayed with me through all this time.
Pre-Chorus
I tried to call it nothing,
just another passing day.
Chorus
But it's the way you looked at me,
like the world had stopped to breathe.
Just a second, just a heartbeat,
still it never left me.
Maybe it was only silence,
maybe it was meant to be.
All I know is years from now,
I'll remember the way you looked at me.
Verse 2
Life kept moving like a river,
taking everyone along.
And I buried all the questions
before they could become a song.
Someone close to me adored you,
so I hid my heart away.
Some feelings aren't forgotten,
they just quietly fade.
Bridge
We were never written together,
never given a chance to start.
But some people leave a memory
without ever touching your heart.
Final Chorus
And it's the way you looked at me,
like a page I couldn't read.
A story left unfinished,
a dream I didn't keep.
Maybe in another lifetime,
maybe under different stars.
You would've known my name,
and I would've known your heart.
Outro
Now you're only a memory,
floating with the ocean breeze.
But every sunset reminds me
of the way you looked at me.
