(Verse 1)
I see the way you look at him, it's killing me inside
I’m standing in the shadows, trying hard to hide
I could be the one, but you don’t even know my name
Caught up in the distance, playing this losing game

(Pre-Chorus)
You say he’s everything you’ve ever wanted, and more
But I know I could give you something worth fighting for

(Chorus)
Wish I could be him, the one you’re dreaming of
I’d give you all my heart, show you a different kind of love
But you’re lost in his world, while I’m stuck in mine
Praying for a moment where your eyes would find
That I’m the one, I’m the one you need
Wish I could be him, yeah, I wish I could be him

(Verse 2)
I hear the way you talk about him like he’s made of gold
But I’ve been here forever, watching your love unfold
You don’t see the cracks, but I see them every day
You deserve more than the promises that he’ll never make

(Pre-Chorus)
You say he’s perfect, but you don’t know the truth
I’d treat you better, if you gave me the chance to prove

(Chorus)
Wish I could be him, the one you’re dreaming of
I’d give you all my heart, show you a different kind of love
But you’re lost in his world, while I’m stuck in mine
Praying for a moment where your eyes would find
That I’m the one, I’m the one you need
Wish I could be him, yeah, I wish I could be him

(Bridge)
Maybe one day you’ll see me standing here
Waiting for the time when your heart gets clear
I’ll be right here, I’ll be right here

(Chorus)
Wish I could be him, the one you’re dreaming of
I’d give you all my heart, show you a different kind of love
But you’re lost in his world, while I’m stuck in mine
Praying for a moment where your eyes would find
That I’m the one, I’m the one you need
Wish I could be him, yeah, I wish I could be him

(Outro)
Yeah, I wish I could be him… I wish I could be him…
