I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be ?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
But babe, is this all we ever could be ?

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry,
I'm always at your side
You tell me about the love you've had
I listen every eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see this feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad

I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I loved you then and I love you still
You are a friend of mine
Now I know, friends are all we ever could be

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry,
I'm always at your side
You tell me about the love you've had
I listen every eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see this feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again
Then again
Then again I'm glad
