Every time I tried to love you
You pushed me away
And you called it a day
Every time I tried to get you

To see the good in me
You didn't even look
Every time I tried to be like you
Every time I waste my time

Every time I wanna cry
But I can't get it out
Every time I thought you thought
Of me as your best friend

How could I have been such a fool
How could I have been so naive
To think that anyone could ever care
About me as much as I'd like them to

You'll always be alone
As long as you don't become
The best friend of yourself
'Cause I wanna be loved and you wanna
give me a bored stare.

You said I'm your friend
But now I know that's not true
'Cause you're my friend
But I'm not yours.

'Cause you're my friend
But I'm not yours.

'Cause you're my friend
But I'm not yours.

One day I was your best friend
We used to be little girls
Jumping up and down, together
Just hair waving in the wind, no crown, drifting higher and higher, forever.

On the trampoline
Feeling pretty with the wind in our hair
And flowers under our feet

Because you are my friend
And how I wish I was yours
I wanted to fall in love
I wanted to fly like a dove

White and winged
But now she's dead
'Died of a broken nose
And flew out of the window in pain.

'Cause now I'm thinking all the time
That life is too whiny without wine
It's gloomy and full of tears and heartache
My heart and mind jumps up and down

Up and down, up and down, up and down
With the memory of us flying out there
And the man who saw us, watched us with us adoration
And love in his heart.

As the tears slipped down
And the years passed away like fallen autumn leaves
Down on the ground, alone and ungrown
Away from the skyward eyes to behold.

There'll come another day
One day, I hope
Where I'll get to find my love
And kiss him with my eyes.

I wanna be with him and be a friend of yours
(Be a friend of yours)
Be a friend of yours.

You said I'm your friend
But you're no friend of mine, you're no friend of mine
No friend of mine,
If you laugh, even when I fly out of the window.
