Because I can't.
Because she'll never look at me the same way
Because she'll never stay.
Because we're friends

So I'll have to pretend
That I don't love her smile
That I wouldn't run a mile
Just to stare into her eyes
While they flutter like butterflys.

Because she see's nothing in mine
Because she chooses not to notice the signs.
That beam so bright
They blind her sight.
Because I'm am one of her girl-friend's
Not her only girlfriend.

Because she smiles at him
And my fire dims
And I won't do anything to stop her being happy
Because I can't.
