THE OTHER

Are you desperate
Do you even know
I heard you've lost it
That it's touch and go

A sensitive dilemma
That your drifting through
Is this a bad time to ask
If I can substitute

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I'll be the other
The one you don't speak of
A temporary surrogate
A mock stand-in for love
I'll be her double
Your confidant and lover
Yeah....
I'll be the other
~~*~~

Once you've played me
You won't let me go
A new found balance
Redeems fragile hope

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I'll take you on the rebound
When your guard is thin
Handle the game gently
As I pull you in
I'll be the proxy baby
Your best friend
When you can't live without me
Then this other wins
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I'll be the other
The one you don't speak of
A temporary surrogate
A mock stand-in for love
I'll be her double
Your confidant and lover
Yeah....
I'll be the other
~~*~~

You can trust me
I'll help you recover
Until I am the victor
I'll be the other
Yeah...
I'll be the other
~~*~~
