You stop and stare
My heart flutters and sings
But your gaze is for the goddess with the golden hair
You see through me
Just the friend
The funny girl
The one you can talk to
Almost just one of the guys
The one who picks you up when you're down
The one who fights the tears when you're not around

A hug goodbye
Just a quick squeeze
So you can leave to be with her
I fake a smile while
While you walk away
Leave me behind
Blind to my love
I smile
Don't want you to see
So you can just walk away
Walk away from me

You call me in tears
As close to tears as any guy can be
Complain how she cheated
Went behind your back with Mr. Jock
I comfort you
Come over late at night
Your favorite movies
Your favorite beer
Listen while you bitch about you're latest blonde whore
Two A.M time to leave

A hug goodbye
Just a quick squeeze
So you can leave to be alone
I fake a smile while
While you walk away
Leave me behind
Blind to my love
I smile
Don't want you to see
So you can just walk away
Walk away from me

Day of graduation
You've found a new girl
This one's true
Beautiful and funny
I cheer louder than the rest
You walk across that stage
12 years of being only your friend flash before my eyes
The late night talks
Holding me tight after being ditched on prom
Late night calls

Time to say good bye
Leave and go
Make something of your life
A hug goodbye
Just a quick squeeze
So you can leave to be someone
I fake a smile while
While you walk away
Leave me behind
Blind to my love
I smile
Don't want you to see
So you can just walk away
Walk away from me

I choke back tears
I lost my love
My love I've never had
I lost you

Time to say good bye
Leave and go
Make something of your life
A hug goodbye
Just a quick squeeze
So you can leave to be with her
So you can leave to be alone
So you can leave to be someone
I fake a smile while (you walk away)
I hide my tears while (you walk away)

While you walk away
Leave me behind
Blind to my love
I smile
Don't want you to see
So you can just walk away
Walk away from me

Just walk away
Away from me
