Best friends, that's all we are
I tell myself that every day
When we leave, we hug, we say "I love you"
But I still have more to say
I sit in my car, and watch you get in yours
Then I say out loud, "More than you know."
For years I have done this, filled in the gap
Because how could I tell you, when it shows
Best friends, that's all we'll ever be
I remind myself of that all the time
We say our goodbyes, "I love you."
Like clockwork, on the dime
That moment after, when I'm alone
I whisper "It's true. I really do."
I need to say it
But I can't say it to you
Best friends, a status I can't improve
I say it to myself because you are not mine
Because, you're hers.
So I try to convince myself that I am fine.
"Love you, bye. See you tomorrow?"
"I'll be here. Love you, too."
Such a big truth hidden in a tiny statement
But I do wonder, oh how I do
Do I see the signs that maybe you love me?
Or did I convince myself of that just to cope?
