Just a friend

You said hello and passed me by

Unable to see the tears or hear the sighs

For what is in me cannot see

You passed me by and quickly flee

A friend that’s all I mean to you

A listener to troubles, and a sister too

I tried and tried to feel the same

I utterly failed, love is to blame

Look my beloved friend into my eyes

And you’ll discover what kind of lies

 Lies I invented to hide how I feel

The lies which stopped me, in front of you, to kneel

Time will show you the truth one day

With a cold farewell you’ll go your way
