Over The Hill

It should have been me That’s what I think when I see him With her His smile and laugh His hand wrapped in hers

I really tried I talked to you Or I tried to I thought what I did was nocited

Everytime you smile I cry because it’s never been for me It’s such a perfect smile A smile that fills me with hope But it’s never been for me

I used to think it would I’d imagine everything about you Your laugh would echo with mine Your perfect eyes would always watch mine Even your lips

Yeah I dreamed of those to I wanted to know what it would feel like Ever since that day When you made me realize What it was I wanted in life

I wanted romance Love and even heart break I wanted to smile at the thought of you But more than anything I wanted you to want me too

Is it selfish? To want to be wanted? Or is it more selfish To blame him for losing For losing me

I’m not gone Not yet But every day I see his messages His words and his name

I wonder are you really interested in me Or are you just being who you are The nicest most beautiful person ever I’ve told you things And just last week You told me something

But everytime this happens When I feel us connecting I start looking Over the fence Over the roofs of houses Over the small trees and people

I start seeing us walking down the street Hand in hand Laughing and smiling I see you stop and lean down To me I see us together And it’s perfect

And then it all fades away All because I looked into the future Because I wanted it to be that way So I’ve learned That I’m never going to look again

If we’re meant to be Friends or more Then it will be your eyes that stray Over the hill To mine
