Lyrics
In the shadows I've been hiding,
Waiting my turn.
But you never see me -
Don't know I'm standing there.
And my heart lies a bleedin'
But you'll have not a care.
My love is just a one-way street,
It's more than I can bear.
My nights are so lonely,
My days are lonesome too.
My heart's running on empty,
If only you knew.
My love remains unrequited;
And no return is due.
Yes, my love remains unrequited;
But you have not a clue.
Chorus
And you don't ever see me,
You don't even know my name.
And you won't ever hear me,
Should I cry out in pain.
For there's nothing quite as easy;
As hiding in plain sight.
No, there's nothing quite as easy;
As hiding in plain sight.
And would you even see me,
If I showed you my hand?
Could you my Queen be;
Could I ever be your man?
Oh I don't want to ever lose you,
Even from afar.
If you'd only turn and see me,
See me standing there.
But to ask you to love me;
Is more than I would dare.
Yes, to ask you to love me;
Is more than I would dare.
{Repeat chorus}
No, there's nothing quite as easy;
As hiding in plain sight.
