lyrics

I must be cursed; the fates must be against me
She’s taken no interest; she can’t even sense me
I’m a face in a crowd that’s well neath her status,
That’s an audience to her, that she’ll never notice
She don’t even know me, but that ain’t the problem
The one thing we share’s having nothing in common
A stranger with whom I wish I were familiar
If only so that I could finally tell her
That I’m helplessly, hopelessly, endlessly, openly,
Neverthelessly in love with you
Brokenly, quietly, quite unrequitedly
Somehow inspite of me, in love with you
I’m boundless and depthless and restless and breathless
And it’d be a short list to name what I wouldn’t do
To show you how sweetly, how madly, completely,
How badly, how deeply, I’m in love with you

Whenever she’s near, I can feel my pulse racing
Every minute she’s gone feels like time I’m just wasting
To somebody’s dreams she must be the native
But she’s just in my world—I’m not that creative
If I could imagine her daily and nightly
And all on my own, however unlikely
I’d probably need never roam any further
There’d be no cause to alarm or alert her
That I’m visibly, viably, undeniably
Certifiably in love with you
Joylessly, lucklessly, sorely, reluctantly,
It’s not even up to me, in love with you
I’m weary and woeful, I’m inconsolable
And from the depths of my own soul I wish it weren’t true
But I’m clinically, cynically, consciously, critically
Admittedly—in love with you
