He watches her from behind  As she walks across the floor  Doesn't move, no  But his eyes caress her shoulders  While the coffee he bought gets cold  He watches her from behind  So she knows and she won't turn  But her hands shake  It's a shame she won't see the smile he wears  Cause it's only for her he smiles  I guess I knew from the start  He wouldn't play the main part  I guess I knew all along  He would appear in this song  Pretending this is a film  Now a close-up on her neck  And some soft lights  But the film will no reveal her voice  Cause this script doesn't have any lines  I guess I knew from the start  He wouldn't play the main part  I guess I knew all along  He would appear in this song  He watches her from behind  While her girlfriend gives advice  Doesn't listen  But her mind's obsessed with one desire  How she wants him to see her face  He watches her from behind  And that's all there'll ever be  And don't blame her  Another life or some other cafe  And they just might have found a way  I guess I knew from the start  He wouldn't play the main part  I guess I knew all along  He would appear in this song
