Your smile child hands, interlaced with mine,
been my best friend since the age of just nine.
And when we were fourteen, you went on a date.
I cried myself to sleep, knowing I was too late.
Should've told you I loved you, but I was afraid
that you wouldn't feel the same, you'd feel betrayed.
So I kept it all in, and I stayed the best friend.
But I knew I would love you until the very end.
It's graduation, your senior year
You call me up, Your dates not here.
I pick you up, we go together.
And while we dance, you say, "Best Friends Forever."
College comes, Times flies by
You call again, you have a new guy.
He treats your wrong, your heart starts crying.
I come for you- five hours driving.
You cry on my shoulder, and whisper in my ear,
"Thanks for being here all these years"
Should've told you I loved you, but I was afraid
that you wouldn't feel the same, you'd feel betrayed.
So I kept it all in, and I stayed the best friend.
But I knew I would love you until the very end.
Your wedding say, you walk down the aisle.
My heart breaks again when I see your sweet smile.
You come close to me, pull me aside.
"Thankyou", you whisper as I stand by your side.
Than, I watch you say, "I do" to him,
I've missed my chance, I should've been him.
Should've told you I loved you, but I was afraid
that you wouldn't feel the same, you'd feel betrayed.
So I kept it all in, and I stayed the best friend.
But I knew I would love you until the very end.
Now we're both old, you've had your third baby.
No doubt I'm the Godfather, cause that's what you named me.
Your kids grow older, along with you.
You grow to be sick, I don't know what to do.
The moniter beside your bedside slows down,
I watch my tears as they fall to the ground.
I was too late to tell you that I love you,
And it pains me to know that you never knew.
Should've told you I loved you, but I was afraid
that you wouldn't feel the same, you'd feel betrayed.
So I kept it all in, and I stayed the best friend.
But I knew I would love you until the very end.
Dressed in black, the rain falls down,
Gone all the way back, back to our hometown.
Tears on the faces, Pain in the eyes.
I watch all the people as they try not to cry.
They say a few words about you, my girl.
You were my everything, my whole entire world.
The priest reads aloud, your diary, he said,
My mind races from the words in my head.
My best friend he ism I love him though.
I love him, yet, he'll never know.
To hold him close, and tell him how I feel.
Could possibly make everything too real
So forever I'll be just the best friend,
But I'll love him forever, till the very end.
All eyes on me as I slouch, my head bent.
The tears fall harder at wasted time spent.
Should've told her I loved her, but I was afraid
that she wouldn't feel the same, she'd feel betrayed.
So I kept it all in, and I stayed the best friend.
But I knew I'll love her forever, till the very end.
So I kept it all in, and I stayed the best friend,
And I will continue to love her, till my very end.
