Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse]
I've got one shoulder to lean on
and one shoulder to cry on
And two arms to hold you tonight
You've got a heart that's been broken
From words that's been spoken
It took some time but you've seen the light
Chorus
You didn't want to hear the truth
You were living a lie
I was just a friend of yours
standing by your side
but there was more
to the way I felt than meets the eye
I'm the one that loves you
He's not the right guy
Verse 2
I was the one that made you smile
The one that dried your tears
I WAS THE ONE THAT STOOD BY YOU
FACING ALL YOUR FEARS
I'VE BEEN RIGHT HERE BESIDE YOU
NOW FOR MANY YEARS
MY ONLY WISH AND MY REGRET
I didn't make one thing clear
Chorus
You didn't want to hear the truth
You were living a lie
I was just a friend of yours
standing by your side
but there was more
to the way I felt than meets the eye
I'm the one that loves you
He's not the right guy
(Bridge)
Now the nights feel colder, as I watch you walk away,
Every word unspoken haunts me day by day.
Caught up in this silence, my heart's a heavy weight,
If only I'd been braver, I could change our fate.
So here I stand, my heart laid bare,
Hoping you will notice, that I've always cared.
With every step you take, I feel the ache inside,
Just wishing that you knew, I'm the one who's tried.
