Notice Me

Sometimes we walk this planed, without even being really noticed by someone. This song will help you to be finally noticed...not by someone, but by yourself! The one true self! Verse 1 I came home late, asked Dad for help, Wanted to be heard and be my friend. He sighed and said, “You are a fool” Like I should’ve known, like I broke some rule. I stood there quiet, learned my place, Saw disappointment cross his face. That night still echoes when I try, To ask for help or ask him why. Pre-Chorus 1 Every thought I tried to say, He shut it down, pushed it away. So I kept quiet, shut him out, And built success without his doubt! Chorus 1 Notice me—I’m standing close, With different gifts than you have hoped. I saw the road; you saw a wall. Together, we could solve it all. My vision sees what you have missed, A world of paths that coexists— Within your rules or narrow sight, I found a different kind of light. Notice me! Notice me… Verse 2 I had so many female friends, Where paths of love would reach dead ends. They called when everything went wrong, I'd stay and listen all night long. "I wish I found a guy like you," They’d say to me, then look right through. The very worth they would endorse, Was never mine to win, of course. Pre-Chorus 2 I show my heart, I show my face, A hidden depth you can’t replace. We’re missing out on what could be, Because you never notice me! Chorus 2 Notice me — I’m standing here! The one that’s honest and sincere! I don’t play games, I don’t pretend! I’m there at start and to the end! You say I’m everything you need Just not the one that I would seek… You praise the light within my soul, Then pick someone who makes you small! Notice me! Notice me… Bridge I thought I chose my only one, But power games had just begun. I wanted peace, I tried to talk, The more I reached, the more you locked. A "clean slate" promised, then betrayed, A debt of peace that was unpaid. I broke the vow, I broke the chain, I would not let you rule my pain. Verse 3 The miles walked in quiet state, Accepting silence as my fate. I thought the road was mine alone, With no one watching where I’d go. You stepped in then and changed the pace, No tests to pass, no roles to play. You didn’t ask me to transform, You saw the man beneath the storm. Pre-Chorus 3 I showed my heart, I showed my face, And finally found that sacred place. No more missing what could be, You were the one that noticed me! Chorus 3: You see the depth, you see the man, You hold the map and understand. We disagree, but still we talk, We find a way, then share the walk. I’m grateful for the path you chose, And every blow you took from those— Who tried to tear our world apart, I thank you for your fearless heart! Outro I spent my life in restless chase, To find my worth in someone’s gaze. The hardest truth I couldn’t see; I failed myself in seeing me! I failed to see… I failed to see… I noticed me…
