Stand By

There she goes

Walking with him

Wearing the smile she wore

When she used to be mine

But I know that she'll

Come to my side

The minute he

Tells her goodbye

But my heart won't let me forget

That I'm just a standby

For when he's gone

Even though I know it's wrong

I can pretend

That her love is mine

I can pretend she is there

All the time

But it breaks my heart

To know that I'm

Not her man

I'm just a standby

I know I'm a fool

But I don't care

My heart grows so cold when she's gone

But so warm when she's there

I'd rather be a fool

And share her love

Than to be a man

Who's not involved at all

So I will pretend

That her love is mine

I can pretend she is there

All the time

But it breaks my heart

To know that I'm

Not her man

I'm just a standby
