I'm not trying to say how much I need your love
Not trying to bring back a relationship now gone
Simply asking for a chance as your friend
That's all I want from now on

Yes the love is there
Yes it may always be
A relationship could be considered
But know that you will always have a friend in me

But you don't listen
You assume the worst
See a badness in me that isn't there
That's what really hurts

Yet I stay loyal
I stay as a friend to you
You're not here to see it
But everyone knows it's true

It will always be this way
I will always keep a hope
That my friend will come back some day
Even if you don't

I know you'll never see this
That this poem is in vain
But maybe someone will read it
And help to heal the pain

The scars will never truly fade
The memories will plague me to the grave
Of what was and could have been
The life we could have made

I know this is stupid
That I should let you go
But I can't, simply can't
I just wanted you to know

I'm sorry for everything
Every little wrong
Every moment that brought you pain
Even if it's not my fault

I'll take the blame
I'll take it all
Every drop of pain
Because I'll do anything for you

Ignore my feelings
Toss me aside
Yell until your throat goes dry
I'll stay through it all

Because you mean too much
You're too important
You were always there for me
I can never leave

So do you you want
Say what you want to say
But know no matter what
I will always stay
