It really is hard

I know you can't see

Cause right now you don't feel

The same as me

I know I have to

I know I should

I have to get over you

I just wish I could

Thinking of being with you

Is such a nice thought

Then I come back to reality

And see what it really has brought

Being strangers

Will not be fair

No that just can't be

Cause I know you care

Maybe the future

Will hold something new

But during this time

You will be you

Right now the only way for me to be happy

And make my heart mend

Is if I can have you

As just a friend.
