You and Her

My friends tell me she's perfect
And they're right I guess
They tell me I should never leave her
Or I will be settling for second best

They watch the curves as she walks away
And say that I'm a lucky guy
To win the affection of someone like her
Without even having to try

Well I suppose that it's insignificant
But if I told the truth she wouldn't be here
Its my lies that keep her by my side
And I hold on to her because of the fear

That if I find the courage to throw that stone
There will be two hearts that break
And one day I would live to regret
Losing her would be my worst mistake?

But when I'm holding her hand
I imagine I'm holding hands with you
And when I fall asleep with her in my arms
I find you in my dreams too

And my friends scorn me for even thinking these thoughts
They say "Her? What could you possibly see?"
And I tell them that when I look at you
I see the perfect girl for me

They tell me that I'm being irrational
And in distaste they shake their heads
So I say "If my girl friend is so perfect
Why don't you go out with her instead?"

But what can I do to make things better
Breaking up would bring me back to scratch
And if you don't feel the same way that I do
Then I think my world would crash

So I'm saying farewell to happiness
And saying hello to what I've been given
Spending my time chained but only thinking of you
And not about the lie that I live in
