Better friends

How do i tell you
that we were better better friends
we took that next step
and hold each other's hand

friends we were then
but your feelings grew
i didn't know what to say
i was so confused

how do i ask you
for us to be just friends
what can i do
so we could be like then

i love you still
but just not like this
cause when we got together
the old you i miss

can it be that it's just me
thinking that we were better friends
but im sure that you and i both know
that pretending needs to end

when we were friends
you heard me through my silence when i cried
you hold me and kept my heart warm
better friends we were, that's why

together as one we are now
then why is it that i feel i cant touch that part
the part where only you and i know
that better friends we are
