The Other Guy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I know i'll never have him

But I'm there when you're not over his friend

I listen when you come to me

But cuz of who he is you don't have the time to see

I really feel the way you feel

Just cuz it's him don't mean it's not real

Your always sayin' your love's true

I listen but i can't say the same for you

What I offer's unreturned

You don't have time to see me burn

You've so far failed to see

How much you're affecting me

When you think of him

I'm thinkin' of the other guy

I'm in love to

He's constantly on my mind

If you weren't shared by blood

Then would you have the time

I don't get to choose

Who i dream of at night

You tell me how you feel

I feel the same way with the other guy

So bad its not real

You can't make me cover it up, you know i really try

You can see by my skin

I shiver and shake and i follow him with my eyes

I'm nervous and i know it's a sin

But seein' him drives me wild inside

If it was another

Maybe not your brother

Would it be ok to let him drive me wild?

But then lookin' back

You've always turned your back

Would it be ok to listen to my smile?

Your convinced

He's so unperfect

But i'm convinced

That it's worth it

I listen to you goin on and on

Bout how you and that boy got it on

You don't have time to listen to me

I'm in love but you can't see

I don't have opinions you just talk

But with me you tell me i'm stupid to feel what i feel

I can't run away you only let me walk

Come on now girl, you ain't bein' real

I love
