Fade Into the Background - Ne-Yo

Original Album: Year of the Gentleman (2008)

Damn...

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 a while,

Wondering, "Why did I come here?

Face, it you messed up and now,

She's with somebody else"

Yeah, yeah

And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

I'll say, "Congratulations," then

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 (it's funny you don't)

'Til you ain't got it no more

Put down my glass, grab the bottle

I throw it back and I shout,

"She's with somebody else"

And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

I'll say, "Congratulations," then

I'll fade into the background

Background...

Starting to fade into the background...

Ohh, ohh, ohh...

Ohh...

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh...

She's with somebody else...

And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

Ohh, ohh, ohh, oh

I'll say, "Congratulations," then

I'll fade into the background...
