Love for the girl next door

(Verse 1)

Sunrise paints your window pane, another day begins

I watch you from my bedroom, fueled by a burning rage

You're laughing on the phone, a smile that lights your face

But I know it's not genuine, a mask you can't replace

(Pre-Chorus)

He picks you up at seven, in his beat-up, rusty car

Another night of whispered fights, beneath some distant star

And I just stand here helpless, a silent, seething plea

Wishing you could see what everyone else can see

(Chorus)

You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes

But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies

He doesn't deserve you

He's holding you back, a love that's untrue

I'll show you the light, a passion so deep

I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away

If only you'd notice, the words I long to say

(Verse 2)

We built a fort of blankets, when we were just kids

Shared secrets in the darkness, beneath the moon's soft bids

Now you tell me stories, like a rehearsed, happy dream

But your eyes hold back the truth, of all the price you pay

(Pre-Chorus)

He puts his arm around you, a possessive, tight embrace

I see the flicker in your eyes, a hint of fear I trace

And I just stand here frozen, a silent, burning ache

Wishing you could realize, the love you shouldn't forsake

(Chorus)

You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes

But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies

He doesn't deserve you

He's holding you back, a love that's untrue

I'll show you the light, a passion so deep

I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away

If only you'd notice, the words I long to say

(Bridge)

Maybe I'm a fool, for dreaming of a chance

To tear you from his grasp, and share a loving glance

But I can't stand by and watch you, fade beneath his hold

A story left untold, a love that's growing cold

(Chorus)

You're the girl next door, sunshine in my eyes

But you're caught in the rain, behind those stormy skies

He doesn't deserve you

He's holding you back, a love that's untrue

I'll show you the light, a passion so deep

I'd rip him from your world, chase the dark away

If only you'd notice, the words I long to say

(Outro)

Girl next door, can't you see?

My love is waiting desperately

Set yourself free, come back to me

The girl next door, you're meant to be.
