Lyrics
[verse]
I see you every morning at the same café
You never notice, always look the other way
I've memorized the way you stir your cup
Wondering if today's the day I'll speak up
[verse]
My friends keep asking why I hesitate
Say just walk over there before it's too late
But there's a difference between wanting and being brave
I've been quiet since the very first day
[chorus]
You don't know my name, you don't know my face
You don't know the way my heart begins to race
But one day, one day, I'll find the words to say
And maybe then you'll finally know my name
[verse]
I practice speeches in the mirror every night
Rehearsing all the things I'd say if I got the light
But mornings come and I lose all my nerve
Watching you walk out like I don't deserve
[chorus]
You don't know my name, you don't know my face
You don't know the way my heart begins to race
But one day, one day, I'll find the words to say
And maybe then you'll finally know my name
[bridge]
Today's the day, I'm walking up
Gonna say hello before you finish your cup
Whatever happens, I'll be glad I tried
Rather know than wonder for the rest of my life
[chorus]
You don't know my name, you don't know my face
You don't know the way my heart begins to race
But one day, one day, I'll find the words to say
And maybe then you'll finally know my name
