Why Can'T You See You Really Love Me
You call me on the phone, telling me you miss me so.
You call me on the phone, wanting to talk to me as a friend.
You ask me to come over, but only as your friend.
We laugh and talk all night, but only as friends.
Then I leave and you call me, and tell me you miss me again.
I cant keep doing this, I keep hoping you'll change your mind.
For you see I have never changed mine.
I have always loved you, but you have never loved me back.
So every time I come around you, I have to hold my feelings back.
I don't want to, stop being your friend.
I don't want to, not ever hold you again.
I don't want to, be just your friend.
I want to be with you, keep you safe, and love you.
But you only want, to be my friend.
But I cant only, be your friend.
So I have to stop, all that I do.
I have to stop, loving you.
There is just one way, I can to do this.
I have to stop, being your friend.
I have to stop, talking to you.
I have to stop, coming around you.
I have to stop, loving you.
Then hopefully you'll see, that you really love me.
