Fade Into The Background

Ne · Year Of The Gentleman [2008]

She looks so good in that white dress

At the far end of the aisle

Standing where I should be standing

Some other man on his face there's a smile



I just walked in sat down silent

I stood outside for awhile

Wondering why did I come here

Face it you messed up and now she's with somebody else



And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background



Such a lovely reception

I sit here sipping Rosé

Then we catch eyes for a second

Both of us smile then quickly look away



It's funny you don't know what you got

Till you ain't got it no more

Put down my glass grab the bottle

I throw it back and I shout she with somebody else



And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background



Fade right into the background



She's with somebody else

And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

I'll say congratulations and I'll fade into the background
