Lauren's POV
N/A: Listen to Can I Be Him by James Arthur
I'm watching you walk towards the stage with your bandmates.
Massive tones can be heard in the square of the room I am standing in right now.
Shouts and screams that dictate how far the two of us go. You're the vocalist of a famous band and I'm your fan.
The scream is stopped and the sound of the guitar strumming begins. Be guided by a gentle piano and a beautiful voice while keeping your eyes closed
You walked into the room and now my heart has been stolen
You took me back in time to when I was unbroken
Now you're all I want
And I knew it from the very first moment
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
With every song you sing and every lyric you write, I wish that it was all for me.
At the same time your eyes are open and our gaze meets. It seems that time has stopped and I can only see you.
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
But the paradise of paradise shattered your gaze as your audience screamed as they gazed at the stage where the woman you loved was walking.
Pain in your eyes and in your voice as you sing.
I heard there was someone but I know he don't deserve you
If you were mine I'd never let anyone hurt you, no, no
I wanna dry those tears, kiss those lips
It's all that I've been thinking about
'Cause a light came on when I heard that song and I want you to sing it again
If only I had been the woman you cared about, you wouldn't have been hurt.
If only I were the woman you loved the most, I will do everything in my power to make you happy while I am with you.
I wish you were the one with whom you sing every song and song you write.
If only I had, you wouldn't have been hurt.
I swear that every word you sing, you wrote them for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there to sing it again?
Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?
But what can I do? You don't even know how much I value. Can you still love the whole?
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Can I be the one
Oh, can I, can I be him?
Can I be her? The girl you love with someone else? But who am I to love you instead of her? Can I do that?
Won't you sing it again?
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
Oh, sing it again, yeah
Oh, when you sing it again
Can I be him?
I swear that every word you sang, you wrote 'em for me
Like it was a private show, but I know you never saw me
When the lights come on and I'm on my own
Will you be there, will you be there?
Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
Can I be him?
I wish I could have loved her as much as you loved me.
I wish she was me, the one you tell the story every time you go through your life.
I wish she was me.
I was really into your life then, you were just not satisfied so you were looking for another reason for your pain now.
