Lyrics

By the office window, watching your face
My heart keeps trembling in this place
The ring on your left hand catches the light
A boundary I know I can't cross tonight
"Good work today" you say with a smile
I keep my distance all the while
But deep inside I'm crying out
Where can I take this love and doubt
I know, I understand
This love will never stand
But I can't stop this feeling inside
Between guilt and longing I hide
The line I cannot cross tonight
You have a home, you have a life
I'm just watching from afar away
Holding this love that cannot stay
The line that's drawn will never fade
This distance that will always remain
If I can love, you from this side
I'll bear this pain deep inside
When I ask you out for dinner you decline
"My family's waiting", those words like a knife
Cut through my heart but I understand
This is reality, this is where I stand
On social media, photos of your smile
She's beautiful, she's been there all the while
I could never win, I knew from the start
But still, I can't let go of my heart
I know, I realize
I'm not the one in your eyes
But I can't give up this desire
Contradictions burning like fire
The line I must not step across
You have someone you cannot loss
I'm just praying in the shade
Hoping that you're happy, that you stayed
The line that never disappears
This unreachable love through the years
If I can keep loving, you this way
I'll embrace the sweetness of this ache each day
If only you were single and free
If only you had first met me
Counting all these
"what ifs" in my head
But reality won't change what's been said
This love will hurt nobody else
It lives within my heart itself
A secret flame I'll never dim
Burning alone, just for him
The line I will not cross shows strength
This is my love's only defense
Wishing for your happiness stays
While hiding these feelings always
The line I'll keep protecting well
Between what's right and what I feel
Though this love will never be mine
I'm free to love you all this time
Tomorrow we'll meet at work again
Nothing changes, it's all the same
Guarding the line I'll never break
Living this love for your sake
Unrequited but still I care
Loving you from over there
