Song Description

Story of a woman who recently struggled through a bad relationship that was unfulfilling. Her best friend of only a few years (male) tells her how he would treat her if they were together. He paints an ideal picture of love, and what a relationship with him would be. She somehow overlooks the obvious, does not give the realtionship a chance, and eventually loses her best friend and love of her life.

Lyrics

did you think that love would never find you again
did you feel like you wasted precious years of life on him
did you doubt yourself and wonder who?s to blame for what went wrong
did you worry about the baggage you were bound to bring along
and did you ever think you?d find someone with everything you need
you didn?t plan on meeting me

CHORUS
I?d buy a dozen roses for you at the grocery store
take away the pain you?ve had to endure
fill you up with love so high
leaving only happy tears to cry
be your escape when you wanna run away and hide
stand beside you when the world ain?t on your side
I could right all the wrongs show you a love so strong
and you don?t have to look any further than me
your best friend

did you think a year ago you?d be standing here today
did you think your life could change so fast along the way
and when you thought you knew the answers to the questions of your heart
did you think that leaving me behind wouldn?t be so hard
and someday you might second guess decisions that you made
but by then I?ll be gone and my faith will be strong
that a better love is on the way

CHORUS
and I?ll make her breakfast in bed in the middle of the afternoon
watch for shooting stars by the light of the moon
stop at nothing just to treat her right
be the last voice she hears at night
be her escape when she wants to run away and hide
stand beside her when the world ain?t on her side

It could?ve been me holding you
but I?ll save my heart for a love that?s true
and when I look into her eyes I?ll see
my best friend
and I won?t have to look any further than her
my best friend
