We walk about and talk
doing our day to day lives
yet you keep your eyes closed
to some signs I give you
All the light you cannot see

I hold your hand
tease you gently
do everything to see you smile
But you still don't know
All the light you cannot see

If I told I how I feel
would you understand?
If I were to be blunt
would you feel the same?
Are my feelings
All the light you cannot see?

I watch you with someone else
your arm around their shoulders
their head on your shoulder
smiles on both faces hide
All the light you cannot see

You sing “I'm in love”
eyes in a dreamy gleam
A forced smile on my lips
yet the pain in my eyes is
All the light you cannot see

I thought I could handle it
seeing you smile with your love beside you
I was running after someone else's charming
The future for you and I together was
All the light you cannot see

I never thought seeing you happy
would be so painful
If I love you, I should let you go
It's too late to show
All the light you cannot see

If I told I how I feel
would you understand?
If I were to be blunt
would you feel the same?
Are my feelings
All the light you cannot see?

The saddest thing about love is that it shows the utmost truth, which is sometimes blatant and at other times invisible...  You conveyed this beautifully.
