My Neighbour - Alex Vargas

She lives in the building

Up a floor or two from me

Could be three or four

But that’s not important really

When we pass each other

And she pays no mind

There’s something about her

Makes it hurt every time

Every time

I couldn’t quite figure out

Why it would be so painful

When I don’t even know her

But I feel so regretful

Then it hit me one day

When I saw her in the street

I always look her way

But she never sees me

She never sees me

My neighbour looks just like you

In a nearby memory

My neighbour looks just like you

And it’s just so hard to see

So I feel like I know her

As well as the seasons

But I’m drawn to a stranger

For the strangest reasons

And it’s so hard to face it

But I can’t look away

Might be easy to explain it

But it’s so damn hard to say

Hard to say

My neighbour looks just like you

In a nearby memory

My neighbour looks just like you

And it’s just so hard to see

My neighbour looks just like you

In a nearby memory

My neighbour, she looks just like you

And it’s just so hard to see

And it’s just so hard to see

And it’s just so hard to see
