The Guy on the Side

Its nights like tonight that showed me you’re real I gave you my heart and you allowed me to feel We talked all we could as time slipped away It’s time for you to go, I begged you to stay If we were a puzzle then the pieces fit right My tears felt so warm when I told you goodnight. So here I stand, just the guy on the side Quietly watching as time passes by Coming and going they tear you apart Careless boys always breaking your heart Hoping in time that you may see the light And what I would give to be the man in your life Walking through time a year has gone by He told you he loved you and that he would try You question your reasons and ask yourself why Your home by yourself fighting his foolish pride Still just as beautiful as the first day we met Now drowning in tears brought forth by regret So here I stand, just the guy on the side Quietly watching as time passes by Coming and going they tear you apart Careless boys always breaking your heart Hoping in time that you may see the light And what I would give to be the man in your life Your strength breaks down as another year passed I wish I could show you, I just need the chance I promise to hold you and make sure you’re safe Show you there’s someone to right his mistakes I've been here waiting for that chance all this time When I can be more than the guy on the side.
