Untitled

I stare at your face
And look you in the eye
Out in the balcony that day
If only you knew how much
How badly I wanted to hold you tight
In your voice, a calm anger
Bits and pieces from your past
How she hurt you, broke you

I can be here beside you
‘Cause you said you want me to
And I can hold your hand
Make you forget about her
Baby maybe I can take her place
But I can’t undo what she did

I’ve always been on the outside
Trying to look inside your life
Now that the wish’s been granted, I see
How boundless your love is
You tell me you hate her
But you just can’t bear
Hurting her yourself
Hurting her yourself

I can be here beside you
‘Cause you said you want me to
And I can hold your hand
Make you forget about her
Baby maybe I can take her place
But I can’t undo what she did

And that’s what kills me
She left you an empty shell
She left me with a memory
Of how you used to be
She left you an empty shell
She left me with a memory
Of how you used to be

I can be here beside you
‘Cause you said you want me to
And I can hold your hand
Make you forget about her
Baby maybe I can take her place
But you’ll never be the same
