The Next Best Thing
By: Lai

I see you glancing,
When she's so confused and brushes the hair from her eyes,
Your heart is dancing,
I notice when she looks away, how your heart dies.

Isn't she looking awful pretty,
In that deep blue shirt?
I wonder where she got that from,
I promise I won't let this hurt.

If I can't love you,
Then I'll help you love,
If only you knew,
How hard you are to let go of.

This is one unsung love that I'll help you sing,
'Cause if I'm not enough,
Then this is the next best thing.

Maybe if you were happy,
You could start to notice me,
As something more than friend.
