LYRICS
Demo Version
You look at me
I fake a smile so you won’t see
That I want and I’m needing
Everything that we should be
I’ll bet she’s beautiful
That girl you talks about
And she’s got everything
That I have to live without
You talk to me
I laugh cause it’s so damn funny
That I can’t even see
Anyone when your with me
You say your so in love
You finally got it right
I wonder if you know
Your all I think about at night
Your the reason for the tear drops of my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
Your the song in the car I keep singing
I don’t know why I do
You walk by me
Can you tell that I can’t breathe
And there you goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she’s lucky cause…
Your the reason for the tear drops of my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
Your the song in the car I keep singing
I don’t know why I do
Cause he’s the reason for the tear drops of my guitar
The only one whos got enough to break my heart
Your the song in the car I keep singing
I don’t know why I do
Your the time taken up
But there’s never enough
And your all that I need to fall into
You look at me
I fake a smile so you won’t see
Single Version
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile you he won’t see
That I want and I’m needing
Everything that we should be
I’ll bet she’s beautiful
That girl he talks about
And she’s got everything
That I have to live without
Drew talks to me
I laugh cause it’s just so funny
That I can’t even see
Anyone when he’s with me
He’s says he’s so in love
He’s finally got it right
I wonder if he knows
He’s all I think about at night
He’s the reason for the tear drops of my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He’s the song in the car I keep singing
I don’t know why I do
Drew walks by me
Can he tell I can’t breathe
And there he goes so perfectly
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she’s lucky cause…
He’s the reason for the tear drops of my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He’s the song in the car I keep singing
I don’t know why I do
So I drive home alone
As I turn off the light
I’ll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight
Cause he’s the reason for the tear drops of my guitar
The only one whos got enough to break my heart
He’s the song in the car I keep singing
I don’t know why I do
He’s the time taken up
But there’s never enough
And he’s all that I need to fall into
Drew looks at me
I fake a smile so he won’t see
