Her

I'm the shoulder you cry on, when everything goes wrong And you don't even realize you're the reason for this song Just think that I'm a friend, I hate having to pretend But I love you too much not to go along You light up when you talk about her I force a smile on my face But inside I can't help thinking That should be me in her place But I'm not her, so I get hurt 'Cause I'll always come in last and she'll be first When will I learn, when will I learn That your flame is not for me, I just get burned 'Cause I'm not her, her Every time you smile, I feel my heart skip a beat And then you talk about her and butterflies, start to sting like bees I know I could make you laugh, more than she ever could We'd be happy together if you only understood You light up when you talk about her I force a smile on my face But inside I can't help thinking That should be me in her place But I'm not her, so I get hurt 'Cause I'll always come in last and she'll be first When will I learn, when will I learn That your flame is not for me, I just get burned 'Cause I'm not her, her And maybe one day, I'll hear knocking at my door And you'll look at me the way I've always looked at you before You'd flash me those big blue eyes, and I'd forget the pain We'll dance in the driveway, waltzing in the rain And we'll kiss in the moonlight, just like I'd dreamed Well maybe this worked on her, but it won't work on me 'Cause I'm not her, I'll never be her I deserve somebody who will put me first And yeah this hurts, oh it hurts But I guess I've known this never would've worked 'Cause I'm not her, her
