It's Been Awhile

It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been awhile
Since anyone looked at me the way you looked at me just now
Right here and now

I wasn't born to be hidden away from this world
But somehow I became the invisible girl
So, forgive my reactions if they seem somewhat dry
I'm not used to confrontation and I'm really very shy, because

It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been so long
Since anyone wanted me the way you wanted me just now
Right here and now

I've just been singing my heart out to take away the pain
Somewhere along the way I ran into you again
I'm glad that you noticed me and you looked at me that way
I only wish that I was bold enough to know exactly what to say, but

It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been too long
Since anyone called to me the way you called to me just now
Right here and now

I hope to keep you entertained the best way that I can
Though I'm sure my memory will fade and our time together end
So forgive my intentions if they seem set in stone
But I'm settled walking down this rocky path alone, because

It's been awhile
Since anyone said my name the way you said my name just now
It's been too long
Since anyone cheered me on the way you cheered me on
Just now
