I said, I wish you never knew how I feel for you It's hard to be just friends now after all I said, I wanted more He said, "How can you be so sure" I'm not sure I'm faithful after all But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand He says, I can hold it but remember we're just friends And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied After all he keeps me alive I'm happy when he smiles if only for awhile It's hard to just ignore a face like that I wish he was everywhere, I wish his hand was in my hair I would have been less lonely for awhile But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand He says, I can hold it but remember we're just friends And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied After all he keeps me alive After all he keeps me alive But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand He says, I can hold it but remember we're just friends But I'm still happy when I get to hold his hand He says, I can hold it but remember we're just friends And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied After all he keeps me alive And I try, and I try, and I try to be satisfied After all he keeps me alive After all he keeps me alive After all he keeps me alive After all he keeps me alive
