I remember the day we met
It was kinda awkward because we didn't know what to say to each other
So we just smiled
Finally I got my courage up and I approached you,
said all the wrong things
but you knew what I really meant
We exchanged phone numbers and spent hours on the line
They seemed like minutes
But like they say, time flies when you're having fun
Hours stretched into days, then days into weeks
And our feelings grew stronger
But you were afraid of yours
You wanted more time. I gave it to you.
It was just enough time for you to decide that you wanted to be with someone else.
I took it like the man I am.
Things went well for you too for a little while.
But then he started doggin' you and everytime he did
you cried on my shoulder, because I still cared.
The grass was always greener on my side but you chose the weeds.
A friend of yours told me he hurt you real bad.
I picked you up only to be put down for another one.
Yeah, the same story, he dogged you, too.
I heard it from a friend of mine.
Yes even though I'm far away, I still care.
But I don't know how much longer it'll last.
Some nights I lay awake staring at the ceiling thinking
about how it could have been,
how it should have been.
They say nothing's perfect.
They don`t know my love for you.
It seems that the good guys always finish last.
Well, in that case I don`t mind bringing up the rear.
