I watched you once more...

I saw you today

You lifted your head and I saw your fear

I walked your way

But stopped so I could see it clear.

The pain inside of you

Was coming out slowly

There was nothing I could do

But tell you how I felt cowardly.

But when I opened my mouth

Nothing came out but air

I asked myself how

As I walked myself back until I wasn't there.

To you I'm nothing

Compared to her and her

I found it shocking

As how love could be a blur.

I can't hold it in anymore

I have to let it all out

It's something I've never done before

But I always have a doubt.

I'll screw up my words

And just walk away again

It'll all be insecure

And I'll still just be a friend.

Or you'll look at me with that face

Of how stupid I sound and look

The horror of today

My heart pounded, my heart shook.

My worst dream had come true

As I watched you kiss her hand

Fearfully I ran not knowing what to do

As your pain and fear went away as planned.

I came back tonight

As I watched your every move

You came up to me and said hi

As I moved away my flute.

You needed to talk to me

So I got up and walk by your side

My heart pounded happily

And I still don't know why.

Outside in the pouring rain

You said the words I never thought you would

I was the one taking away your pain

And he knew someone else should.

I looked away with tears in my eyes

And you knew I understood

I tried so hard not to cry

I only turned away cause I could.

You took my hand and held it tight

And said I still love you though

This can't work out tonight

I'm sorry I have to go.

I watched you leave once more

Out of my sight again

My tears fell to the floor

As I realized I was just a friend.
