Lyrics
[verse]
I watch you looking at somebody else
The way you smile, I know it isn't for myself
She's got the kind of grace I'll never own
Standing in the corner, always on my own
[verse]
I practice all the things I'd say to you
But you don't see me, don't have a clue
I'm just the friend who's standing in the back
Watching you walk a different track
[chorus]
I wish that I was her, I wish that I could be
The one you look at like she's everything to see
I'm not the type you'd choose, I know it's true
I just keep loving you from a distant view
I wish that I was her tonight
[verse]
Every text you send is meant for someone else
Every plan you make, I'm never in it, else
I keep this feeling folded, tucked away
Watching from the sidelines every single day
[chorus]
I wish that I was her, I wish that I could be
The one you look at like she's everything to see
I'm not the type you'd choose, I know it's true
I just keep loving you from a distant view
I wish that I was her tonight
[bridge]
Maybe one day I'll stop wishing for a life
That was never mine, never meant for the strife
Maybe I'll find someone who looks at me that way
Until then I'm stuck loving you from far away
[chorus]
I wish that I was her, I wish that I could be
The one you look at like she's everything to see
I'm not the type you'd choose, I know it's true
I just keep loving you from a distant view
I wish that I was her tonight
