You'll never listen to the stories I have about my trips
To the grocery store
And you'll never be there standing tall
Red bouquet in hand
When my curtain closes
You'll never kiss my hand or laugh at me when I do a
Dance for you
But I'll always be there watching you
Wishing that you would watch me too

I saw you at the grocery store last week
You didn't look 'cause you were all alone
But I know that you saw me too and you're never gonna bring it up
Casually
I pretended not to see you and when I was far enough away I looked
Over my shoulder
And you were still alone and you were still looking away
You weren't watching me

But most of me knows that you'll never love me the same
But part of me hopes that you'll never forget my name
So when I go to sleep at night I'll dream that you are watching me
From afar
Yea, when I go to sleep at night I'll dream that you live outside my heart

You'll never fly to Jersey and sit with me in an empty Walmart parking lot
And you'll never buy me coffee just to brighten up my day
When things go numb
You'll never brush my fading hair or hold my hand
Purposefully
But I'll always be there watching you
Wishing that you would
Watch me too

And most of me knows that you'll never love me the same
And part of me knows that you'll never forget my name
So when I go to sleep at night I dream that you are watching me
From afar
Yea, when I go to sleep at night I'll dream that you live outside my heart

You've watched me stumble and fall on my face
Too many times, it's such a disgrace
You've watched me try to reach the sun
But plummet back down to the planet I came from
If actions speak louder than words then why don't you hear me?
'Cause every time you're close to me you become more out of reach

And most of me knows that you'll never
Love me the same
And part of me knows that you'll never forget my
Name
So when I go to sleep at night I'll dream that you are watching me
From afar
Yea, when I go to sleep at night I'll dream that you live outside my heart

Yea, when I go to sleep at night I'll dream that you live outside
My heart
