You Didn't Notice Me Cry - ArlenaZara
I sat beside you, heart in my hands
Hoping you'd see the cracks in my plans
Every whisper I let slip through my lips
Was a silent plea, a trembly glimpse
I hid my tears in the late night rain
Smiled at you through my private pain
I thought love was enough to make you stay
But you turned the other way
I begged in silence, I screamed in my soul
But you never noticed, never knew the toll
You didn't notice me cry
Even when I was breaking inside
I loved you loudly in my heart
But you never heard a single part
I carried my sorrow, hid my despair
While you didn't see me anywhere
You didn't notice me cry
And I wondered why
I held your hand like it was a lifeline
When my own heart was on the decline
I whispered dreams I couldn't speak
But you were too blind, too weak
I thought love could heal what was broken
But your silence was all the words unspoken
I stayed, I hoped, I waited in vain
Every moment with you felt like pain
I counted the seconds, the nights, the sighs
Hoping you'd notice my eyes
You didn't notice me cry
Even when I was breaking inside
I loved you loudly in my heart
But you never heard a single part
I carried my sorrow, hid my despair
While you didn't see me anywhere
You didn't notice me cry
And I wondered why
Maybe love shouldn't feel this lonely
Or beg for a glance that's only phony
I mistook your silence for care
While I was losing myself somewhere
I want love where I'm unseen
I deserve more than in-between
I cried, I fell, I gave you my all
You never saw me when I called
You didn't notice me cry
But now I won't hold out, I won't
I'll love myself before anyone else
And pick up the pieces of myself
I won't beg for a love that's blind
I won't leave my heart behind
You didn't notice me cry
But I finally see why
I cried in silence
I loved alone
But I'm learning to cry for me, not for you
