Wedding Band

I was always a boy at the party with the six-string

She was the girl next door, born to be the prom queen

And how I felt about her, hell, I never told her

Never played her a single song I wrote her

And I didn't have the heart to tell her "no" the night she asked

So here I am on stage, she's wearing white, and I'm wearing black

I sing a song, he takes her hand

Just the two of them for their first dance

I'll try and fight back the tears, even though I know I can't

We're both here tonight for her

He loves her now, but I loved her first

Her better half and her best friend

We're both leaving with a wedding band

What I wouldn't give for her to look at me how she looks at him

I've never seen forever, but it sure looks like them

I've played it a million times 'cause it always was her favorite

And I'm glad it makes her happy, but tonight I hate it

I sing a song, he takes her hand

Just the two of them for their first dance

I'll try and fight back the tears, even though I know I can't

We're both here tonight for her

He loves her now, but I loved her first

Her better half and her best friend

We're both leaving with a wedding band

"Just Married" is written on the car they'll drive away

And "broken-hearted" is written on my face

I sing a song, he takes her hand

Just the two of them for their first dance

I'll try and fight back the tears, even though I know I can't

We're both here tonight for her

He loves her now, but I loved her first

Her better half and her best friend

We're both leaving with a wedding band

We're both leaving with a wedding band
