Just Friends

Who knew that words could be so powerful?
So full of meaning and able to tear one apart
Those two words linger in my head, always replaying
"Just friends"- it causes us to eventually depart

Things don't remain the same after hearing those words
You don't feel right with them and you tend to hold a grudge
Knowing my future love life will never include them,
I'm left crying alone as my make-up begins to smudge

I'm used to looking in the mirror seeing that messed up reflection
That mirror image reveals something much more,
One can see that deep inside I'm really hurting
I'm just praying my life would be happy like once before

As I sit alone in that cold, lonely classroom
I find myself looking at that one guy I truely adore
My eyes start to water as I see he's flirting with another girl
I later cry myself to sleep asking,"Why can't we be more?"

Why'd he have to lead me on like he really liked me?
My eyes seem like they're stained with each warm tear
I can never get over the fact that we're not meant to be
Because not having him is my most dreaded fear

As I gaze into his eyes, I see the most handsome man
He's everything I've looked for in my perfect fairy-tale dreams
But with all this rejection and acting like I dont exist,
We'll never be together as a couple, it seems

As I sit there and let him flirt with a best friend of mine,
Pure jealousy rages in me, but that-- I do not show
Faking a convincing laugh, I say,"You guys should go out!"
But the true things I feel for him are what people don't know

Why do I always fall for the ones who don't really care?
I think to myself,"Well, let's grab the mask; it's time to pretend!"
And I put on this deceiving act so no one can know,
That I'm deeply hurt whenever I hear him say we're, "Just friends"
