Best Friends

Best Friends
 
 
I met you a year ago; you had a great life of your own.
I used to call you names with my buddies on the phone
The fact that I'd never been that interested
Made me miss something I didn't know that I needed
 
A year more and I didn't know what to expect
Except knowing I learned how much I'd regret
See, getting to know you made me feel a lot better
In so many ways, if I'd try I'd only even shudder
 
The thought of you in my work, in my sleep, in my prayer
Makes me all the more be afraid and braver
You have your own, and so do I
I couldn't escape it, I couldn’t lie
 
I thought my heart would never be stolen
But you broke that rule, and now I'm heartbroken
See, how could it be us when it's just you and me
Partners, buddies, best friends, you see?
 
But I know I didn't do this on purpose
God did once tell me my heart was dangerous
Later you'd see and later you'd find
There's so much I would've wish for
Including that you would be mine
 
I'll tell you this, just so you'll know
I'll never try to own you, since I already love you so
So be free and be jolly and don't think of me
Knowing he makes you smile is enough to make me happy
 
And when ten years've passed, you and I will have changed
But to me, I will always love you; and that will always be the same
I'd've told you sooner, but then things might've gotten worse
Cause of all the best friends I've fallen in love with…
You must’ve been the first.
