For two years we were the best of friends.
The secrets we shared just had no ends.
Then that day, way back in May,
I knew we weren’t friends, there was just no way.
We were going to be more now,
You were the one showing me how.
Night after endless night you were there.
It was only a week, and the time went where?
You liked me, and I liked you too.
I liked you so much I didn’t know what to do.
But then we waited a few weeks to long.
My memories with you are played in every sad song.
You discovered someone new.
She was someone I knew too.
I know I should have backed off that day,
But in my heart, I knew there was just no way.
I couldn’t let go that quick.
The thought of losing you just made me sick.
You couldn’t decide between us two.
We didn’t make the decision any easier on you.
Why did things go the way they did?
My feelings for you no longer hid.
The words spilled out in a flood,
Like someone dying, losing blood.
I poured my heart out to you.
Everything you knew.
Now you won’t even talk to me.
Was this the way it’s supposed to be?
Friends to nothing in zero flat.
How did I lose you at the drop of a hat?
I wrote you a letter.
I wanted to make things better.
I guess it didn’t mean a thing.
A call from you, the phone has yet to ring.
I know I need to move on.
But I’ll never understand a friendship so quickly gone.
This isn’t about me wanting to be with you.
It’s about a friend not knowing what to do.
Friends is what it used to be.
Why did it mean so damn much to me?
Because of one night, a best friend I’ve lost.
I didn’t know it would be such a serious cost.
I guess this is my way of letting go.
These final words you needed to know.
