"Wedding Band" lyrics

I was always a boy at the party with the 6-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"'s written on the car they'll drive away
And "broken-hearted"'s 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
