Invisible Lyrics

She can't see the way your eyes
light up when you smile.
She'll never notice how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by.
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her, but you are everything to me.
I just want to show you
She...

    The same with you belong with me... The girl her is in love with her best friend. Cause she believes that she knows him better than her best friend's dream girl. There was a part when she say that: And you can`t see me wanting you the way you want her But you are everything to me.. next is the part in the song saying: I just wanna open your eyes and make you realize, I just wanna show you she don't even know you, baby let me love you, let me want you... and that's the part that really shows the meaning of the song.

    This song totally feels like me and my crush! Only he is a good friend and he doesn't like someone else. I just like him and he doesn't know that I like him. To him my love is "invisible"

    This song is about a crush. Someone you are so sure can love but they don't see you, they probably don't even know. Everyone in this song is invisible. They guy she talks about, and even Taylor.

    It's about a girl whose head-over-heels in love with a guy who doesn't notice her at all. He's completely in love with someone else and she knows that the girl he's in love with doesn't notice him or know he's in love with her. She knows that the girl would never love him as she does, and she's trying to tell him - but it's hard since she's completely invisible to him. That's how the title "Invisible" comes to mind - because she's invisible to the guy, even though she doesn't want to and she's in love with him. She notices everything about him - how his eyes light up when the girl he's in love with smiles, and he doesn't see that she loves him like he loves the other girl. She also says that if he'd just notice her they could be the perfect couple - "We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable, instead of just invisible" she says in the song, referring to both her and the guy together, as a couple.

    This is about liking a guy who likes someone who has no feelings for them. While there is someone else out there who can give the kind of love the guy is hoping for.

    She can't see the way your eyes
    light up when you smile.
    She'll never notice how you stop and stare
    Whenever she walks by.
    And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her, but you are everything to me.

    She doesn't even care about the feelings of this guy. She doesn't know how much he loves her. Since the guy is busy chasing after the girl he likes, he is unaware of the strong affection Taylor has for him.

    I just want to show you
    She don't even know you
    She's never gonna love you like I want to
    But you just see right through me
    But if you only knew me
    We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
    Instead of just invisible, yeah.

    This is not necessarily about liking a guy who you only admire from afar. This could be about an acquaintance or a friend who cannot see how much you love him because he is busy loving someone who doesn't even love him back. Taylor says that they could be perfect for each other... if only he gets to know her better and if only they have the right chance.

    There's a fire inside of you that can't help but shine through
    She's never gonna see the light
    No matter what you do.
    And all I think about is how to make you think of me
    And everything that we could be

    This certain guy is definitely someone. It either the fire she is referring to is his assets, and how he is very admirable, and the girl he likes won't notice/see those characteristics no matter what else he could do/achieve. Or the fire could refer to the love he is harboring for the girl, but she wouldn't be able to realize how much he loves her. While on the other hand, Taylor thinks of how she could make him notice him.

    Like shadows in the faded light, oh, we're invisible.
    I just wanna look in your eyes
    And make you realize

    I just want to show you, she don't even know you
    Baby, let me love you, let me want you
    But you just see right through me
    But if you only knew me
    We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
    Instead of just invisible Oh yeah.

    She can't see the way your eyes
    light up when you smile.

    The song's self-explanatory really. This basically sums up the saying "We adore those who ignore us, and ignore those who adore us."

    This is a song about a girl loving a boy whose COMPLETLY in love with a different girl who isnt going to treat him right, or doesn't see him as the amazing boy that he is. The boy doesn't realize the full potential that him and Taylor could be , since he's blinded by love with the other girl

    This is about Taylor's crush. She is trying to get him to notice her. All he is noticing is another girl and Taylor Swift is saying that she could love him as much as he loves the other girl. There's something special about him that the other girl can't see, but to him... she's invisible.

    She likes him. He likes her and she likes someone else.
    Happens to everyone. I've been in this situation. I hate it.

    Unlike someone else stated, this is not like You Belong With Me. She's infatuated with a guy who doesn't see her, and is in love with a girl that doesn't see him. She doesn't mention in the song that they are friends. The situation is more like "I love him, but he doesn't know I exist".

    However, this song does have some similarities with Teardrops On My Guitar and You Belong With Me. Taylor is the common girl next door in this situation and is falling for a guy who is in love with someone else.

    a girl is in love with this guy, but he likes this other girl, but she doesn't like him back. he doesn't notice the girl who loves him. this girl wishes that the boy would notice her and they wouldn't be invisible.

    To say it simply (kind of): Girl likes guy, guy likes other girl, other girl doesn't notice. To crack that open, basically the girl really likes a guy, but she's "invisible" to him. He likes someone else, but he's "invisible" to her, and Taylor's saying that if they got together then neither of them would be "invisible" anymore.
