Best Friends Forever (But Not the Way I Hoped)

[Verse] From the moment I laid eyes on you, my heart skipped a beat You were the girl of my dreams, so sweet and so kind (yeah, yeah) I thought that being your best friend was the way to your heart But little did I know, it tore mine apart [Verse 2] We laughed, we cried, we shared everything together But deep inside, I was hoping for something more (oh no, oh no) You'd talk about guys, and I'd pretend not to care But every word felt like a knife, it just wasn't fair [Chorus] We were best friends, yeah, that's what we said But in my heart, I wanted so much more instead I couldn't find the words, couldn't take the chance Now you're with my best friend, and I'm left in a trance [Interlude] As time went on, I tried to bury these feelings deep But they lingered on, haunting me in my sleep [Chorus] We were best friends, yeah, that's what we said But in my heart, I wanted so much more instead I couldn't find the words, couldn't take the chance Now you're with my best friend, and I'm left in a trance [Bridge] I watched from the sidelines as you fell in love With him, not me, it fit just like a glove I cheered for your happiness, though it tore me apart To see you with him, holding each other's hearts [Outro] Now I'm left to wonder what could've been If I had spoken up, if I had let you in But time marches on, and I'm here in the end With memories of you, my forever friend [Bridge] I watched from the sidelines as you fell in love With him, not me, it fit just like a glove I cheered for your happiness, though it tore me apart To see you with him, holding each other's hearts But in the quiet of the night, I still dream of you Hoping against hope that you'd feel it too Yet reality's cruel grip pulls me back again As I watch you walk away, with him, not as friends [Outro] Now I'm left to wonder what could've been If I had spoken up, if I had let you in But time marches on, and I'm here in the end With memories of you, my forever friend
