[Verse 1] I saw you standing underneath those lights, Laughing like you always do, And for a second I forgot That I was never meant for you. I used to picture your hand in mine, Your name right next to mine, Thought maybe someday you’d realize You were the girl I’d been trying to find. But now he’s standing where I wanted to be, Holding you close like a dream, And I’m smiling like it doesn’t hurt, While something inside of me screams. [Pre-Chorus] I tell everybody I’m happy for you, I swear I mean it, but I’m barely getting through. Every time you look at him that way, Another piece of me fades away. [Chorus] I’m slowly dying inside Watching you love another guy, He gets to hold you every night, While I’m just watching from the sidelines. You’re everything I ever wanted, Everything I prayed I’d find, But somebody else got your forever, And I’m slowly dying inside. Baby, I wish I could turn it off, Wish my heart could let you go, But seeing you happy with somebody else Is the hardest thing I know. [Verse 2] I remember every little thing That made me fall for you, The way you smiled when you got nervous, The little things you used to do. I never told you how I felt, I kept it locked behind my pride, Now I watch him say the words I was too afraid to say in time. And everybody asks me, “Man, why don’t you find somebody new?” How do I explain to them Nobody feels like you? [Pre-Chorus] So I laugh when they mention your name, Act like losing you doesn’t drive me insane. But when I’m alone and the room goes quiet, I can’t keep pretending I’m alright. [Chorus] I’m slowly dying inside Watching you love another guy, He gets to hold you every night, While I’m just watching from the sidelines. You’re everything I ever wanted, Everything I prayed I’d find, But somebody else got your forever, And I’m slowly dying inside. [Rap Verse] Yeah, I ain’t mad at you, I ain’t mad at him, I’m just mad at myself for the chances I missed. Had a thousand words sitting right on my lips, But fear had me frozen, so I swallowed that shit. Now he’s got your pictures, your kisses, your time, He’s living the future I saw in my mind. And I know that you’re happy, that’s all I can say, Even if watching you love him is breaking me every day. I wonder if you ever knew, How deep I was falling for you. Maybe in another life, I’d have been the one standing by your side. [Bridge] Maybe someday this won’t hurt, Maybe someday I’ll hear your name And it won’t feel like somebody Just ripped my heart away. But tonight, you’re in his arms, And I’m learning how to lose The girl who felt like everything Before she was ever mine to lose. [Final Chorus] I’m slowly dying inside Watching you love another guy, He gets to wake up next to you, While I’m waking up to goodbye. You’re everything I ever wanted, The love I couldn’t make mine, And even though I wish I had you, I hope he treats you right. Yeah, I’m slowly dying inside… But I’ll never let you see me cry. You found your forever in somebody else, While I’m still trying to survive. [Outro] So go ahead, baby… Go love him like I wanted you to love me. I’ll be okay someday… Just not tonight. Tonight… I’m dying inside.
