lyrics

I see the way you look at him, like he's some sort of superhuman
But you don't look at me at all, 'cause I'm just a friend
I hear the way you talk to him through the paper thin walls
Didn't think you talked like that at all

You haven't figured out you're killing me inside
By the time that you do, I'll have already died
And now you're falling into his arms
Like the fallen angel that you are

And I'm on my knees praying from the bible of the brokenhearted
Wondering why this had to end before it even started
And I'm green with envy, and I'll swallow my pride, make it seem like I've got nothing to hide
It's the price I pay for keeping it all inside

You tell me what you think of him, pulling me by your strings
'Cause I'm nothing more in your eyes than that guy,
When you cry, who will try
To be by your side every time

You haven't figured out you're killing me inside
By the time that you do, I'll have already died
And now you're falling into his arms
Like the fallen angel that you are

And I'm on my knees praying from the bible of the brokenhearted
Wondering why this had to end before it even started
And I'm green with envy, and I'll swallow my pride, make it seem like I've got nothing to hide
It's the price I pay for keeping it all inside

Think back on what you said to me, that we weren't meant to be
And you couldn't have been more right
