I can only watch
As she destroys herself from inside
I can only watch
For she is no longer by my side
I can only watch
As she goes through unimaginable hell
I can only watch
As she slips into the place I know so well
I can only watch
With a growing sense of fear
I can only watch
Longing to hold her near
I can only watch
The one I love so much
I can only watch
Remembering her touch
I can only watch
Knowing things will never be the same
I can only watch
Hating these stupid games
I can only watch
Wishing I could tell her how I feel
I can only watch
Wishing I could just convince her that my love is real
I can only watch
Knowing that she loves another
I can only watch
Knowing that she sees me now only as a brother
I can only watch
Hoping that at least he'll be good to her
I can only watch
Because I just can't be sure
I can only watch
Praying that he'll never hurt her in any way
I can only watch
Knowing that if he ever does, he's going to have hell to pay
I can only watch
As she goes through all this pain
I can only watch
Doesn't she see that on this road there's nothing to gain?
I can only watch
Wishing she could just see
I can only watch
Having walked this path, I know how treacherous it can be
I can only watch
Wanting to save her but knowing she's no longer mine
I can only watch
Wishing we were back in happier times
I can only watch
The woman I'd once dreamt would be my wife
I can only watch
Realizing I'm no longer in her life
