It was like watching a movie
To which you already know the end
Where the football wannabe
Turns out to be a really bad boyfriend
And you wanna save the girl next door
From going through that pain
But you know your efforts
Will only end up in vain

She’s never gonna listen
You’ve tried everything you can
To try to tell her that her boyfriend
Is not a Hollywood leading man
He is just gonna hurt her
You knew that from the start
Yet you have to sit by
And watch him break her heart

Still you can’t turn off the movie
So you keep her in your mind
Because not that long ago you too
Were locked in his controlling bind
It kills you to watch it
But you can’t just go astray
You want to be there to help
When she decides to breaks away

You know there’s nothing you can do
But wait till she can see
That the man of her dreams
Is not what he seems to be
And you wish you could rewind time
To make her believe the things you said
That way you could reverse
All the tears she had to shed
