Lyrics
Oh, I... didn’t need to see that look from you tonight... because it’s not for me
Across the room, i see you dance and leap into his arms... and giggle as you smile
He whispers sweet, somethings in your ear as you light up...just for him
I play it through my mind, every single night,
Every single day
I struggle hard to find, a way for me to fight, this image from my brain
Oh, I... didn’t need to see that look from you tonight... because it’s not for me
As you leave, hand in hand love overflowing
I can see... it’s real
You found the thing, that we once shared and it looks so good on you... I swear...it’s true
I know it sounds petty, but I wasn’t quite ready
And witness for myself so soon
And see you so happy, without a hint of loving me...
Oh, I... didn’t need to see that look from you tonight... because it’s not for me
