I Just Wish You'd Look at Me That Way

I Just Wish You’d Look At Me That Way

I never really had a chance with you
You say hello and then I fade from view
Your attention quickly moves
To her face
I’m in bed by 10 alone
With my thoughts, the ones you’ll never know
Try to fall asleep, the only real escape

Your eyes on her are more than I can take
If I tried what difference would it make
I want you but you don’t feel the same
I just wish you’d look at me that way

There’s a fate I live and breathe
Often noticed but never seen
Our encounters always brief
Just okay
I’m an extra on the set
Not the star, the one the hero gets
Pigeon-holed into a role I’ll always play

Your eyes on her are more than I can take
If I tried what difference would it make
I want you but you don’t feel the same
I just wish you’d look at me that way

What is the reason for mutual attraction?
OK I get it, we have no control
How can there be such a one way reaction?
I still have my pride, but this gets really old

[Chorus]
