Chandler's Song

We pass each other in the hall,
You look my way, I fake a smile.
Same routine, same old game.
I get a "hey", then you walk by.
When I need you, you're there,
And yet despite it all, you can's see what we share.

How can you see me, yet not see?
If you call, I'm by your side.
I'm the only one who's seen you cry.
I want to tell you, make you see,
But I'm afraid of what you'll think when you see me for me,
A lonely girl who wants nothing more than you.
Can you think how much it hurts that before we've even started we're through?

I drive through nowhere, to the small town soon to be my home.
I say home, because "home is where the heart is", and baby my heart is with you.
I don't know why, it doesn't make sense.
Love comes of itself, and my heart breaks when I see how you don't care.

At first you drove me crazy, a jerk who would not set me free.
But at least freedom was a solution, despite the impossibility.
Now I know you, feel your pain.
I love you for so much more, and yet still in vain.
I played my part to well, I think, I almost bought my own facade.
But if you look beneath the smile, you'd see the love, you'd see the pain.

I've tried everything to get you to notice, but you're deaf and blind.
I pay all my attention to you, but do you even mind?
I would give you everything I had to give,
Yet you won't give me the air I need to live.
Can't you see it in my eyes?
Well, honey, here's a friendly warning: What you break, you buy.
