We started off as strangers
And then later on as friends
I knew this day would come for me
I'll want more for us instead
I tried to hide this feeling
But I can't take it anymore
I need you to know I'm hurting
As I'm lying on the floor
I let you take pieces of me
'Cause I've trusted you so much
Even if you haven't given anything
I just loved to hear your laugh
You broke my heart so many times
You still do it everyday
I know I should stop myself now
But I love you anyway
I loved you from the very start
I'd still love you in the end
Even if I'm not her whom you love
Even if I'm just your friend
I keep on dreaming for that day
I know for sure it wouldn't come
Image of us telling each other stories
Of the past under the sun
As I lay my head on your shoulder
You pulled me close to you
Whispered words that didn't matter
'Cause all I heard is "I love you"
But then I opened my eyes
And woke up from the dream
Smiled bitterly in front of the mirror
As I lifted up my chin
'Tis what I do every single day
That you can call it a routine
'Tis what I have to deal with
For loving you so real and deep
