I’ve been lonely before, I will be again
The tears have been shed, I’ve dried my eyes.
The pain has diminished, I can finally see.
I thought I wanted you, I really wanted love.
I picked you out of the crowd, set my sights on you,
Decided you were the one for me, though I wasn’t for you
If only I had waited, if only I had seen.
I never should have told you, now it is too late.
I’ve made things change, they will never go back
Your friendship is all I want, too late now I see
The laws of nature are the cause, the reason for my ways.
What I wanted, I could not have
Human Nature demands it, no one is immune
What I want now, I fear I have lost
That is my only regret, to lose your friendship
