Do you see me
Do you feel me like I feel you
Call your number
I can not get through
You don't hear me and I don't understand
When I reach out I don't find your hand

Was it wasted words and did they mean a thing
And all our precious time but I still feel so in between

[Chorus:]
Some day I just keep pretending
That you'll say dreaming of a different ending
I want to hold on but it hurts so bad
And I can't keep something that I never had

I keep tell myself things can turn around with time
And if I wait it out you could always change your mind
Like a fairy tale where it works out in the end
Can I close my eyes have you lying here again
Then I come back down
They don't pay back and
Then I realize its just what might have been.

[Chorus]

Am I a shadow on your wall
Am I anything at all
Anything to you
Am I a secret that you came
Do you dream me while your sleeping after all
Some day I just keep pretending
That you'll say dreaming of a different ending
I want to hold on but it hurts so bad
And I can't keep something that I never had
That I never had
I want to hold on but it hurts so bad
And I can't keep something that I never had
You don't see me, you don't feel me like I feel you

    It's weird, there's never been a song to address this..issue. I love how I can relate.. but thats what every one of us who have commented has said about this song.. There's plenty of songs about break ups etc, but never those that didnt get to dating.

    My situation fits the song perfectly.

    There was this guy I fell in love with, and liked on and off for 3 years, literally from the moment I was introduced to him. We became good friends, but he was a player. He went through girl friends like shirts, but I still wanted him to want me like I wanted him. We hooked up a few times...just kissing and stuff.. he was my first kiss. I dont regret it, it was amazing.. I just wish he loved me back.

    "Am I a shadow on your wall? Am I anything at all? Anything to you. Am I a secret that you keep? Do you dream me while you're sleeping after all?"

    That's so..true. So true. Relates so much. I'm a biiiiig Hilary fan, but I have to say, Lindsay's songs seem to be appropriate. Maybe cuz we're both Cancer star signs ha. Lol. Good song ;)
