My friends, left and right, has love interests and romantic relationships
I didn't expect that their love can destroy friendships
Become a part of their gang and left me hanging as the phone rang
For sure that your lover is forever and the word 'friends' has to end.

Retreat with the tall trees, Camp Musika at its finest
Escaped that suburbia, finding remedies in the rural areas
Instead of pills and tablets, herbs and prayers is all we needed
Met Sabrina, became best friends, shared secrets and rumors.

Joshua, he's cute or whatever
Sing camp songs around the campfire
Wow! That beauty is worth to admire
Can't wait to make you mine and meet your sire.

Your freckles are a beautiful blotch
This affection is absolute and not feckless
The plan to make you fall in love is exact and categorical
The confession is effusive and effective
Such obeisance to my prerogative best friend
I'm so lucky to have her and I wish this friendship will never end.

The relationship was preeminent and insouciance
Glad to have him and confessed when I had the chance
Their scoffs 'bout how sweet we were is the only mockery I wanted
When they have the suffrage, they voted us to be the muse and prince charming.

But as the camp was 'bout to end so as our relationship
It was in perfect harmony until the wedding choir stopped singing
He said it was not working out even if it did and brings out an optimized apologia
I just agreed to dissociate with him even if I never really knew why our love story ended.

Morning light, missed the sunrise
The haunted tree house, the abandoned doormouse
The cabin's memories are wrecked like our past
Came back for the reunion after my 22nd birthday
It's been five years and teenage love is something you couldn't just forget
Seventeen isn't enough to remember the portrait of my youth
As I walked through our old cabin, I saw an old polaroid picture
I thought it was a picture of me and Sabrina but it was actually her and Joshua
Hands intertwined and hearts bound with a kiss.

Ran outside to the entrance and it was the same sepia scene
Both of you just came and my absent suspicion was the one to blame
This picture perfect rapport has ended with an unexpected quisling
This heartbreak can never ludicrously transmogrify.

The sepia polaroid explained it all, that's why we never worked
You already had eyes to my best friend and you just said yes to me, so that you're closer to her
The expired question has lugubriously reentered the forlorn scene
Never thought a sepia polaroid can bring the answers to a question that I have forgotten for so long.
