Fade Into The Background lyrics

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

[Refrain:]

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 sat 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 a bottle

I throw it back and I shout

"She with somebody else"

[Refrain:]

And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

I'll say congratulations

And I'll fade into the background

Sure hate to fade into the background

She with somebody else

[Refrain:]

And now all I can do is smile

And fade into the background

I'll say congratulations

And I'll fade into the background
