If I was your girl, would you have told the world?

I remember every dream, they seemed so real to me back then.

You and me; I thought we were meant to be more than friends.

I miss the way you held me, those nights on the beach, under shooting stars

How we’d walk hand in hand; through the cold, hard sand

I never thought those times would end

I use to see you every day

Hanging out and fixing cars

Shooting hoops and fishing when we should have been in school

Who knew that it would end?

Did you find yourself a new best friend?

I bet you wish you knew me back then, more than just one of your friends

I bet you wonder where we would be… by now

But I couldn’t sleep, I let you have all of me, and I never learned

You didn’t love me that way

Baby It’s ok, Ya it’s ok, I loved you, anyway

It’s been ten years since I’ve seen your face

Your familiar smile shined across the store at me

You caught my heart without saying a word

The memories came rushing back to me again

Face to face and you’re asking how I’ve been

“It’s been so long I didn’t think I’d be seeing you again

I’m home on business, taking the time to catch up with some old friends”

You keep smiling but I’m not sure what you want to hear

The silence in this crowded space is deafening while we’re standing face to face

Before I can say a word, she comes running to me

Screaming loud, “Mommy, let’s go before the line gets too long! Santa won’t wait! I want to ask him if he knows anyway to bring my Daddy home.”

I bet you wish you knew me back then, more than just one of your friends

I bet you wonder where we would be… by now

But I couldn’t sleep, I let you have all of me, and I never learned

You didn’t love me that way

Baby It’s ok, Ya it’s ok, I loved you, anyway

 

I see you are adding up the years in your head

From the night, you promised we would always be friends, and you left anyway

“You didn’t call, you didn’t write, it’s been too long, it’s been too long.”

I’ve raised her on my own; she knows your face but not your name.

You’re a friend from my past who had moved far away…that’s all she knows…that’s all she knows

I deserve better than the pain of watching you leave again, and I won’t put her through the same

After all, you’re just a friend….
