I actually think it is brilliant that the song that was the catalyst to House and Wilson meeting and becoming boy best friends is Leave a Tender Moment Alone by Billy Joel, because if you really pay attention to the lyrics (and like change the she's and girl's to he's and boy's/man's) then it really is a song that perfectly sums up their relationship and their love for each other. And like, I get why it made Wilson angry enough to lash out after receiving divorce papers, but like it is still Hilson's song. And it always will be. Always.

Even though I'm in love Sometimes I get so afraid I'll say something so wrong Just to have something to say

I know the moment isn't right To tell the boy a comical line To keep the conversation light I guess I'm just frightened out of my mind (like if these two don't describe House to a T then I don't know what does)

But if that's how I feel Then it's the best feeling I've even known It's undeniably real Leave a tender moment alone

Yes I know I'm in love But just when I ought to relax I put my foot in my mouth 'Cause I'm just avoiding the facts

If the boy gets too close If I need some room to escape When the moment arose I'd tell him it's all a mistake

But that's not how I feel No that's not the man I've known He's undeniably real So leave a tender moment alone (then these three screams to me Wilson after Amber dies)

But it's not only me Breaking down when the tension gets high Just when I'm in a serious mood He is suddenly quiet and shy (and like honestly both of them)

Leave a tender moment Leave it alone

I know the moment isn't right To hold my emotions inside To change the attitude tonight I've run out of places to hide

And if that's how I feel Then it's the best feeling I've even known It's undeniably real Leave a tender moment alone

You got to leave a tender moment alone Leave a tender moment Leave it alone You've got to leave a tender moment Leave a tender moment alone.
