Just because we're friends
Means by no way I can't mend
The damage left by so many others

Just because we're friends
I can by no means pretend
That my love for you is nothing

The fact that we are friends
Has proved the emergence of the trend
In my happiness turning euphoric

Just because we're friends
Means nothing in the end
Because all I need is you
Don't cry, this kiss is a kiss goodbye.
Don't cling, it's time to part.
Don't look at me nor ask me why
I've taken back my heart.

No questioning, no pleading;
No door remains ajar.
No doubt your heart is bleeding
Now, and wounds of love will scar.

Don't hope to ever turn back time,
Nor resurrect the flame
Of what became a pantomime
Of love, in all but name.

Act
You walk around
Like you own this town.
With that rebellious look in your eye
and your cap turned to the side.
With a cigar on your lips and a bottle in your hand,
you want to be the man.
You once told me it was all an act.
I think you just wanted to see how I'd react.
But I knew all alone it wasn't true.
The person you show the world just isn't you.
What you've never figured out was that I didn't even like that him.
I saw what was within.
That's who I wanted.
That's why I'm haunted.
That's who I can't get over.

— The End —
