From the recording Playing Hearts EP
Lyrics
I can see what you see in him
He’s got the world that I can’t live in
I can’t compete with everything
You made your choice it’s common sense
I’m so held back, I can’t ascend
To the levels that you expect
My love is true, it’s evident
I can’t pursue you, I’ve got nothing left
I won’t lurk in case you change your mind
If I’m not your first then I’m not in line
I have to sit here, watch you hold his hand
Stroke his hair and I can’t stand it
Imagining I was dealt his hand
No more cares if I could stand
By you
You, You
The stars declared it, we were destiny
So apparent, but only a fantasy
you’re my dream but his reality
I saw the scenes and claimed them prophecy
I know my spot
On the sidelines
I tried to change the plot
But I guess it’s not my time
I have to sit here watch you hold his hand
Stroke his hair
And I can’t stand it
Imagining I was dealt his hand
No more cares
If I could stand
By you
(I Can’t Stand It) That you don’t feel how I feel
(I Can’t Stand It) That he’s getting you for real
(I Can’t Stand It) I can’t stand it, no
(I Can’t Stand It) Not this time, no not this time
(I Can’t Stand It) You’re in too deep I can’t compete
(I Can’t Stand It) No
