Just To See You Smile

You always loved things that glittered
But I was far from being gold.
I didn't have a perfect story,
But my tale you told.

When all is said and done,
I'd never count the cost.
And seeing you smile,
Is worth all that is lost.

When you said time was all you really needed,
I walked away and let you have your space.
'Cause leaving didn't hurt me near as badly,
As the tears I saw rolling down your face.

And yesterday I knew just what you wanted,
When you came walking up to me with her.
So I told you that I was happy for you,
And given the chance to lie. Am I alright? Sure.

Just to see you smile
I'd do anything that you wanted me to.
And when you need me most,
I'll be there for you.

Like you weren't for me...
