You and Him

Verse 1

I practiced every word I’d say to you

A thousand times, I thought I’d see it through

But I was late by just a single day

Now I’m watching someone lead you away

He’s holding the hand I wanted to hold

In a story I thought was mine to be told

Verse 2

He laughs at the jokes I should’ve made

While I’m standing here, lost in the shade

He pulls you close and you don’t pull away

And I’m just a ghost with nothing to say

The light in your eyes is no longer for me

It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to see

Chorus

Oh, I’m watching the world I wanted to build

Being lived by a man with the dream I had filled

He’s wearing the smile that should’ve been mine

While I’m just a shadow, crossing the line

It’s a bitter pill, it’s a heavy cost

To see you won, while I’m the one lost

Yeah, he took the prize I was too scared to claim

Verse 3

I see you leaning your head on his side

There’s nowhere for my broken heart to hide

He doesn’t know how lucky he is

To have the magic in a moment like this

I’m a stranger now, just passing by

With a quiet "hello" and a hidden goodbye

Bridge

I waited too long, I played it too safe

Now I’m just a face in an empty space

He didn’t hesitate, he didn't wait

He walked through the door while I stood at the gate

And the worst part of all the pain I feel

Is knowing his love is the one that is real

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Oh, I’m watching the world I wanted to build

Being lived by a man with the dream I had filled

He’s wearing the smile that should’ve been mine

While I’m just a shadow, crossing the line

It’s a bitter pill, it’s a heavy cost

To see you won, while I’m the one lost

Yeah, he took the prize I was too scared to claim

Outro

So I’ll walk away and I’ll leave you two

To the life that I dreamed of sharing with you

He’s the one now...

And I’m just the one who knew
