• For you my love's been growing
    from the day that we first met.
    You have always had my heart,
    but your heart I could not get.
    We became the best of friends
    but I kept my love inside,
    because I didn't want to take the chance
    of having it denied.
    And then one day I got the nerve
    to tell you how I feel
    'cause all the love I had for you
    could no longer be concealed.
    To my surprise you told me
    that you wanted more yourself,
    but as friends we grew too close
    to take a chance at something else.
    You said that I was like your sister
    knowing secrets from your past
    and if we took a chance as lovers,
    then our friendship wouldn't last.
    I listened to your words,
    but to me they made no sense.
    So to try to stop the pain inside
    I took up a defense.
    I told myself that there are
    other fish in the sea,
    and a boy would have to be a fool
    to deny a girl like me.
    I thought I could forget you
    but the love you gave so easily
    was nowhere to be found.
    I couldn't care for anyone
    the way I cared for you
    and it seemed to me another boy
    was never gonna do.
    So without a heart to love with
    it makes me quite annoyed
    that the friendship that you tried to save
    was totally destroyed.
    I know you're bound to give your heart
    to someone else someday,
    so I choose to keep my distance
    so I won't stand in your way.
    Plus I know that if I were around
    I couldn't stand to see
    the love that I knew deep inside
    should have belonged to me.
    So now I can't help wondering
    if telling you was wrong.
    Should I not have said a thing,
    or did I just wait way too long?
    I think that if we took a chance
    then things could have been great,
    but I don't think I should take the blame
    because I chose to wait.
    To say anyone was wrong or right,
    I guess that it depends,
    but I think that if you're lovers
    then you should start off as friends.
    But now we've lost our friendship
    and we've gone our separate ways.
    I have learned to live without you
    and I guess that I'm okay.
    However I've forgotten
    how to let my feelings show,
    and if I'm still in love with you
    I guess you'll never know
