Sonia Stein – Passerby lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jealousy isn't pretty on me
I watch them succeed and I wish it was me
Years gone by and I'm still singing these songs
But there's a dichotomy that keeps bringing me down, down

[Chorus]
Watch me but don't look right at me
From the corner of your eye
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me as a passerby
(See me now, see me now)
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me as a passerby

[Verse 2]
Bitter me placing blame endlessly
I wonder if I even wanna be seen
Years gone by and I'm still rolling along
But this damn dichotomy keeps bringing me down, down
I'll hide here in plain sight, a rabbit in headlights

[Chorus]
So watch me but don't look right at me
From the corner of your eye
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me (As a passerby)
(See me now) Watch me but don't look right at me
(See me now) From the corner of your eye
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me (As a passerby)

[Bridge]
How can I be so afraid?
I would prefer if you all looked away
But don't forget that I'm here, why don't you see me now?
I'll hide here in plain sight, a rabbit in headlights
I'll hide here in plain sight, a rabbit in headlights

[Chorus]
(See me now) So watch me but don't look right at me
(See me now) From the corner of your eye
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me as a passerby
(See me now) Watch me but don't look right at me
(See me now) From the corner of your eye
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me as a passerby
(See me now, see me now)
I don't know why, don't want to ask you for it
Love me as a passerby

[Outro]
See me now (See me now), see me now (See me now)
See me now, see me now
