I know what I want in life
To have you right by my side
‘Cause you make me feel alive
You never knew that I felt that way
Because I was too scared to say
So I wait for that fateful day
I dream that you’ll realize that the two of us are right
I dream that I’ll realize the spoils of my plight
I rallied against my fear
To tell what you had to hear
That I was in love, my dear
But you found love in another place
In the eyes of another face
A feeling I can’t replace
I hoped that you’d realize that the two of us were right
I hope that you’ll realize that I can’t give up the fight
I listened to my heart and it led me to this
Thoughts I can’t escape, of moments of bliss
I know that it’s a dream I know I can’t complete
That’s why I can’t get it out of my mind
I look up at the clouds and I wonder why
Why it can’t be me to put the look in your eye
Because love’s a two-way deal, you can’t make another feel
I’m wondering what on earth I should say to you
I knew that you would be shocked by my confession
I know that I need relief from this obsession
I waited for you at the back of the line, wondering if I would get my moment
Being lovelorn over my best friend was enough, so I took my chance and
I took my chance and
You told me that what I feel
Couldn’t possibly be for real
Friendship can’t create that seal
I know what love means to me
It’s making another see
They make you the best you can be
I pray that you’ll realize that the two of us can be right
And I pray that I’ll realize that I should give up the fight
I listened to my heart and it led me to this
Thoughts I can’t escape, of moments of bliss
I know that it’s a dream I know I can’t complete
But why can’t I get it out of my mind
I look up at the clouds and I wonder why
Why it can’t be me to put the look in your eye
But love’s a two-way deal, you can’t make another feel
So, what the hell am I supposed to do?
We will try this again my friend
Our friendship will never end
But I’ll try to comprehend
That’s the way it is
