A crowded room with hundreds of people
But it was you who caught my eye
Your face
Your smile
Your eyes that shone the brightest
An image I will never forget

I couldn't sleep for days, for weeks
I couldn't keep the smile from my face
Just thinking of you
Just thinking of your name
You invaded my heart, my head, all of me
I guess it truly was love at first sight

Now, I know you
But to you, who am I?
A friend? No
An acquaintance? No
I guess I'll just be a stranger
A stranger in this universe
A shadow who'll just be lurking behind

You are like a mirage
Unreachable, impossible, a dream
Here I am
Crazy about you
But in this world
There are hundreds like me
That's crazy about you too
My chances are too low
The possibility is near impossible
So why not stop, right?

Wrong
This is the difference
What makes me different from the rest of them
I will not give up
I will not stop
Even though it's impossible
Even though I'm far from perfect
I will not stop
Because I'd rather be happy behind the shadows
Than come to the light and not be happy at all
