For him

lyrics

There's this beating in my chest,
I can feel it I confess.
I just wish that you were mine,
But your heart won't keep in time.

There's this pounding in your chest,
It only comes from her caress.
I just wish that you could see,
I'd be everything you need.

Looking in your eyes,
trying to feign resign.
You only look at me with shame,
what a crime.

I'd have your back
I'd have your back!
Along with anything else you'd give me.
We could sing and dance and just be together.

But I take it back
I take it back!
I only want to call you my brother.
Though I would have been a good lover,
That's your loss.

The world around me's spinning now,
I don't think I'm coming down.
God my life is such a wreck,
And you're the rope around my neck.

The world around you's perfect now,
Even though we're falling out.
My love I'm hanging by a thread,
And I'm riddled with regret.

You're looking in her eyes,
thinking she's so divine.
If you'd look at me that way
Then I'd say:

I have your back
I have your back!
Along with everything else you give me.
We dream and feel like birds of a feather.

But I take it back
I take it back!
I only want to call you my brother,
Though I know I'll be a good lover,
Someday soon.

Your gaze bores holes straight through my eyes
And doesn't care much for what they see.
Someday I'll tell myself no lies
And finally be set free.

I'll take you back
I'll take you back.
Even if we'll never be lovers.
But I'll no longer be just a brother
In your heart.
