"She's just a friend," he said, "and that's all she'll ever be
But I can't get these thoughts of her out of my head
The cliche story once again, not as dramatic as it could be
But I can't help the way my thoughts are being led"

Can't you see she loves you in a special way?
Maybe more than you will ever really know
'Cause your mind is focused on a fictional storyline
You'll miss the happiness reality could hold
"This all hits home," I said, "and I can't believe it took so long
For me to finally see what's going on
With so many troubles in her life, romantic feelings wear her down
All she needs is someone that she can lean on"
I'll be your friend through thick and thin
The kind that you can always run to
When you're hurting and you need a helping hand
I'll be your friend when things are great
And all you wanna do is share your smile
And your cheerful happiness
I'll be your friend through your mistakes
'Cause we both know I've had my share
And yet you never took the chance to run away
I'll be your friend because you love me
For reasons I may never know
And that means more than meager words could ever say
You mean more than any words could ever say
