wishing it was me

(Verse 1)

The coffee shop, the usual spot

We'd meet there, talk, and never stop

My heart would race, a nervous beat

When your eyes met mine, oh so sweet

But you'd always turn, a gentle smile

To her, my friend, there for a while

(Chorus)

You love her, I know it's true

But my heart aches, for you, for you

I watch you laugh, I watch you hold her hand

Wishing it was me, standing by your side, understand?

(Verse 2)

We'd sing along, to every song

You'd hum the tune, where we belonged

But your gaze would drift, to her again

My hopes would fade, like a summer rain

I'd try to hide, the pain inside

But my heart betrayed, with every sigh

(Chorus)

You love her, I know it's true

But my heart aches, for you, for you

I watch you laugh, I watch you hold her hand

Wishing it was me, standing by your side, understand?

(Bridge)

Maybe someday, you'll see the light

That my love for you, burns ever so bright

But for now, I'll keep it in my heart

A secret love, a painful work of art

(Chorus)

You love her, I know it's true

But my heart aches, for you, for you

I watch you laugh, I watch you hold her hand

Wishing it was me, standing by your side, understand?

(Outro)

I'll let you go, with a heavy heart

But my love for you, will never depart

Even though you love her, I'll always care

For the boy who stole my heart, beyond compare.
