How Could I Be Your Friend

How could I be your friend
When I don't want this to be the end?
I feel your pain but cannot stay
I can't console it anyway

I can't be just your friend
Even if I would pretend
It would cost me endless pain
Seeing you shine like stars that reign
And knowing you'll never be mine again

I want to forget, I want to move on
Leave nothing behind, let the friendship be gone
For friendship alone can't carry the flame
Of what we once were, it's never the same

Maybe I'm wrong for feeling this way
But I've tried, I swear, day after day
I opened my soul, you heard it all
But still I break, I still fall

I can't be just your friend
Even if I would pretend
It would cost me endless pain
Seeing you shine like stars that reign
And knowing you'll never be mine again

I want to forget, I want to move on
Leave nothing behind, let the friendship be gone
For friendship alone can't carry the flame
Of what we once were, it's never the same

I can't be just your friend
Even if I would pretend
It would cost me endless pain
Seeing you shine like stars that reign
And knowing you'll never be mine again
