[Verse 1] [Soft piano and light guitar strums] Walking down the aisle, got flowers in my hand, I hear the crowd whisper softly, it's all been planned. But there’s a weight, (ohhh-oh) a storm inside, These tears aren’t for love, there’s something to hide. I see you, just a few steps away, Not as my groom, but in someone else's place. It’s him and I, yet it’s you on my mind, (you and I) How did we get here? How did love go blind? [Pre-Chorus] [Soft bass and faint bells in the background] I take a breath, hold back my tears, But why is it you that I’m wishing was here? [Chorus] [Strings swell, mellow bass and beat kick in] It’s me and him, but why do I think of you? This should feel right, but I’m split in two. If you’d just say the word, give me a sign, I’d run to you, leave it all behind. (whoa-oh-oh) But you’re there, and I’m here, With tears on the aisle, and this aching fear. [Verse 2] [Guitar strums and gentle percussion] Your eyes catch mine; the past pulls me back, To moments we thought love wasn’t our track. You’re his friend, so I took his hand, But why do I wish right now you’d make a stand? Dressed in white, he waits ahead, But memories of you keep playing inside my head. A laugh, a touch, a spark that just won’t die, (whoa-oh-oh) Now I'm wondering if my heart chose a lie. [Pre-Chorus] [Strings swell lightly, soft drum fill] One step closer, but my heart's split in two, How did I end up here, singing this song about me and you? [Chorus] [Strings and bass deepen] It’s me and him, but why can't it be me and you? This should feel right, but I’d rather be with you. (ohh-oh-oh) If you’d just say the word, give me a sign, I’d run to you, leave it all behind. (whoa-oh-oh) But he is waiting—and I’m here, With tears on the aisle, and this aching fear. [Bridge] [Soft piano, fading to guitar] If these vows could break, would you reach for me? If you felt the same, would you let us be? If you knew, would you keep me from saying "I do" (whoa-oh-oh) If you knew, would you take the leap, what would you do? [Chorus] [Full R&B groove, bass and beat strong] It’s me and him, but why do I want it to be me and you? This should feel right, but it's you I want to say "I do" to. (ohh-ohh-oh) If you’d just say the word, give me a sign, I’d run to you, leave it all behind. But it's too late now, because I’m here, With tears on the aisle, and this aching fear. [Outro] [Soft piano fades, strings linger] So I step forward with my heart that's unsure, Praying I’ll find peace and some kind of cure. But as I say "I do" with him by my side, (hmmmm mm) I’ll always wonder what we left behind. (Ohhhhhh whoa-oh-ohh -oh oh oh) [Outro guitar strum, soft piano closes] [End] [Bridge] [Soft piano, fading to guitar] If these vows could break, would you reach for me? If you felt the same, would you let us be? If you knew, would you keep me from saying "I do" (whoa-oh-oh) If you knew, would you take the leap, what would you do? [Chorus] [Full R&B groove, bass and beat strong] It’s me and him, but why do I want it to be me and you? This should feel right, but it's you I want to say "I do" to. (ohh-ohh-oh) If you’d just say the word, give me a sign, I’d run to you, leave it all behind. But it's too late now, because I’m here, With tears on the aisle, and this aching fear. [Outro] [Soft piano fades, strings linger] So I step forward with my heart that's unsure, Praying I’ll find peace and some kind of cure. But as I say "I do" with him by my side, (hmmmm mm) I’ll always wonder what we left behind. (Ohhhhhh whoa-oh-ohh -oh oh oh) [Outro guitar strum, soft piano closes] [End]
