Kevin Brown - Girl Like You Lyrics

Well, most nights I let my mind wander
And this one's the same as all the others
I've been thinking 'bout you, my childhood friend
Cause we grew up close, and we grew up together
But if the story goes how I remember
We didn't end up so close in the end
Cause you had your choice of most any guy
With that intoxicating voice and your smiling eyes
Pretty soon even I saw you different
And you were honestly the girl from my dreams,
But you went with the guy from the football team
I told you he's no good, but you wouldn't listen
And I don't know what I'm doing
Thinking I could get a pretty girl like you
A guy like me with a world to prove
And I hate to think I'd ruin
Any chance of either of us talking again
But I'm in love, I can't just be friends
Well, it didn't take long for your smile to fade
Putting up with all the stupid games he played
I don't know why you did, but you stuck to it
And I tried to show you I was a better man
Than the one that you had holding your hand
But for all of my attempts, you looked right through it
And I don't know what I'm doing
Thinking I could get a pretty girl like you
A guy like me with a world to prove
And I hate to think I'd ruin
Any chance of either of us talking again
But I'm in love, I can't just be friends
Well, eventually I got sick and tired
Of being left out on the wire
It was time for you to hear my secret truth
So I puffed out my chest and I steeled my nerves
Determined to give you those dreaded words
I looked you in your eyes and said I loved you
And you gave me the most beautiful smile
That I sure as hell hadn't seen in a while
You told me I was sweet and the best of friends
And whoa, that just about killed me
But I laughed it off, as if it was pretend
And I don't know what I'm doing
Thinking I could get a pretty girl like you
A guy like me with a world to prove
And I hate to think I'd ruin
Any chance of either of us talking again
But I'm in love, I can't just be friends
Well, some years gone by, I hadn't seen you in a while
I hope you're doing well, I hope you always get to smile When you think about me,
Do you have any doubts
Cause I got me a girl that loves who I am
And I know that I'll love her right to the end
But when I think too much, it stresses me out
When all the hypotheticals are coursing through my chemicals
I wonder about my choices and the ones that I've regretted
Though I know there is no way to change the past
Most of my life has gone according to plan
And I think I could be happier than what I am
So is it better to just never, or finish last
And I don't know what I'm doing
Thinking I could get a pretty girl like you
A guy like me with the world to prove
And I hate to think I'd ruin
Anything and everything we might have been
But I'm in love, I can't just be friends
