If only you could know
How I'd love you so
The way good friends do
The way I would be you
And me too, I'd be your
Good friend, I'd be your
Good friend, I'd be your

Seems like everytime I turn around
My heart's on the mend
Because I don't think you want me
To be your good friend
Yesterday is a laugh
And the traumas slip past
And I don't think
That I'll be doing a lot of crying
But I'll sure do my share of sighing
I would have been your...
