The song I used in this article is "Inivisble" by Taylor Swift. I wrote out the lyrics on my own by listening to the song, so there may be some mistakes. I also left out anything that repeats.
I was bored one day, so I searched "Taylor Swift" on YouTube, and ended up listening to the song "Invisible". When I first heard it, as much as I hate to admit it, I cried. It fit's what I'm going through perfectly, in so many ways. The song is in italics and what I write, which is how it applies to me, is regular.
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
I spend so much time staring at you, I've seen the difference in your eyes between when you're laughing and when you're not. You're the type of person who's always smiling, who makes a joke out of everything, and your eyes really do light up. That girl who you asked out, she doesn't care about you. When she looks at you, all she sees is a weird, obnoxious guy who's always getting in trouble. When I look at you I see a funny, if mildly annoying, guy who's antics are adorable.
She'll never notice how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by
Well, I'm not so sure about that one. I like to think you don't stare at her, but if you do, she probably doesn't notice.
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
I definitely want you the way you want her. If I had guts I would have asked you out long ago. And while you aren't everything to me, you definitely mean a lot to me. Just seeing you makes my day. Being near you makes my week. Talking to you makes my month. If a day passes without seeing you, my temper is shorter than usual, and I'm in an overall bad mood.
And I just wanna show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to.
Does that one even need explaining? I want you to see that she doesn't care about you. She never will care about you, at least not the way I do.
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible, yeah
To you, I'm nothing more than just a girl who's fun to annoy. But if you actually got to know me, if you started to care about me, we could have a great relationship. We're complete opposites, but opposites attract, right? I think we'd actually balance each other out. It'd be incredible.
There's a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
You're amazing. While that's obvious to me, most people, including that girl, are completely oblivious to it. You can do whatever you want, but she's never going to realize that you're more than just some average guy.
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be
That really is almost all I think about. Every second of the day, you're on my mind. I'm always wondering what I can do to make you realize how much I care about you, to make you feel the same way. I'm always dreaming of what it would be like to date you, how great we'd be together.
Like shadows in a faded light
Oh, we're invisible
I just wanna open your eyes
And make you realize
I'm invisible to you. You're invisible to her. You need to wake up and smell the roses -- We should be together.
