Girl Next Door

Girl next door, you will never know me

like I know myself.

A friendly 'hi' and flash a smile

but keep this to ourself.

No one bothers to ask the questions

I long so much to hear

So I rely on you to do the same 

and my soul you'll surely spare. 

Girl next door, you will never know

how I truly feel

but I pray that you will stick around

and my lips won't break the seal. 

I live just for this moment in time

if you could only see

unrequited love and longing for

something that will never be.

Girl next door, shallow as you are

I hope you never know

the pain and sorrow that fills my heart

now tell me does it show?
