Stand By lyrics

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 her 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 her 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 be a man
Without a love 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 her standby
