I always think it’s going to change

That somehow I won’t feel the same

Next time I see you or hear your voice

But the truth is I don’t have a choice

Just when I think they’re fading away

You manage to remind me they’re here to stay

My heart rushes and I smile that smile

Just from talking to you for awhile

And after the smile comes the tears

My heart aches and I’m filled with fear

It scares me ‘cause you might be the only one

I could ever see myself really able to love

I don’t want to have to feel this way

It was so much easier back in the day

Before I realized what I felt for you

And you were just a friend I could turn to

I hate pretending that’s enough for me now

So I act like maybe I could forget you somehow

But the more time passes the more I ache

‘Cause I miss you more than I can take

And finally you get around to asking me

Just where the hell have I been hiding

I brush it off like I’ve just been busy

I am so amazed that you really don’t see

The truth of why I’ve let our friendship fade

Why I hold back and have been pulling away

Being your friend just hurts too much

But it hurts even more living without your love

So I start back at square one again

Trying to figure out how to be your friend

Have you in my life without having you to hold

Remain your friend and just try to let go

Of this fantasy of you and me together

It ain’t happening now and it just may never
