I will not write this off tonight
I will not sit alone in spite
I will not try to mend our hearts
For trying to hard will tear us apart
You told me once
Told me a million times
That I needed to stop writing all those lines
Over and Over, I wrote a book
About lovers and dreams and things I had hoped
This did not really go up in smoke
Call me a liar call me a friend
I know like you that it one day would end
I wrote it off day after day
I cried at night to push reality away
Now I am stuck looking up at stars
Wishing and hoping that things would change
Truth is that I don't want what's best for me
I want what is best for WE
Most lovers would be friends for years
We tried to defy it and it turned years to tears
Friendships are built to last
Relationships are built to break like glass
That, though, is one chance we took
That, though, is one more memory for my book
Never made me sad to look back on you
Never made me mad to think of you
Never made me hurt for trying something so hard
Never made me cry at each thought that every kiss could maybe be the last
All-in-all you were right in the end
All-in-all we started living a pretend
We all need space to gather ourselves
I took my time about 3 years ago
Only I forgot what it was like
I will not blame anyone for this time apart
I won't cry again for the lack of a 'I love you'
I can't try to mend what I did not break
I promise to be your friend, be there for what you need for friendship's sake
No longer will I bend
No longer will I break
No longer will a sad ending
Be simple teardrops away
I'm glad to talk to you
And hear about what you do
I am glad to give you space
For that is what friends do
I won't promise not to write again
Or that I won't cry some other night
I know that I cannot stand
Another pointless fight
No more games, no more pretend
I promise this is the end
At least till later down the road after we have both grown
Once a lover turned to an enemy,
Now an enemy to friend.
