He says he’s there for me,
Encourages my dreams,
He’d be there if I was
Falling apart at the seams.

I’m holding my breath,
And I don’t know why –
I can’t let it out, and
I can’t even let myself cry.

He’s there for me when I need a friend,
But I can tell you how this story ends-
I’m lady-in-waiting to his bride-to-be,
And when it all comes down, the foolish one is me.
Long ago he signed his soul away –
And so instead of wearing white, I’m wearing gray.

I’m so glad he’s happy,
But scared all the same.
For him it’s forever,
But for her it’s just a game.

And the part that hurts
More than anything else,
Is that with him my heart
Has to be put up on a shelf –

He’s there for me when I need a friend,
But I can tell you how this story ends-
I’m lady-in-waiting to his bride-to-be,
And when it all comes down, the foolish one is me.
Long ago he signed his soul away –
And so instead of wearing white, I’m wearing gray.

And when I ignore it, it just comes back stronger.
I don’t know if I can take this pain much longer.
Even in dreams, it all turns out so wrong,
And I’m the only one who knows our song.

He’s there for me when I need a friend,
But I can tell you how this story ends-
I’m lady-in-waiting to his bride-to-be,
And when it all comes down, the foolish one is me.
Long ago he signed his soul away –
And so instead of wearing white, I’m wearing gray.

She’s wearing white,
I’m wearing gray.
