Left Hand Man

We split about two months ago 
And now that I've got no one to pass the time 
Everything's in slow motion I’m 
 Broken inside like those 
Guys that operate showground rides I mean 
Fine on the outside but on the inside 
I’m a kid who dropped his ice cream 
 
And it looks like you still wanna 
Play with my feelings telling me 
That you don’t love me but you still wanna 
Be my best friend now 
 
Baby 
Your offer is tempting 
But i don’t think you understand how hard it would be for 
Me not to fall in love again but in the end 
I’m gripped by desperation 
For human touch and communication Am
So I’ll do all that I can
To be the left hand man
 
I’ll go above and
I’ll go beyond unlike your
Other friends, it's on me I want you
To depend
Your
new girlfriends nice I can
See why you love her I mean she
Actually sleeps at night and has no
Issues with her father your
 
Your mother likes her I bet she likes
Chocolate and she’s easy to please and for her you’d
Got down on your knees and watch all of her
Stupid favourite movies
 
I betcha, when you say she’s pretty she
Actually believes you and
Doesn’t wear makeup to deceive you she just
Likes it and she’s perfect
 
Yeah she’s perfect and darling she’s
Worth it
So ill settle
I’ll settle for what I can
And be the left hand man
 
So ill watch from all the windows in the pouring rain
Just like those scenes from the sad movies where
Nothings going right for him
And yet he stays around
just to see her
Her boyfriend he wants to be them
And although he deceives them with a smile
He struggles to understand why he’s…
the left hand man
 
Baby I'm damned and
I’m delusional and although my
Smile fools you all
I’m just praying that she’ll leave
 
But I’m not gonna sing her jolene
And I’m not gonna get in between
I just want you guys to be happy but
Where does that leave me?
 
But whatever
I’m gripped by desperation
For human touch and communication
So I’ll try remain where I am…
And be the left hand man
