For a Friend

We can sit and talk for hours at times
Spilling secrets all through the night
In a way, I haven't opened up before
Girl, you're so much more
I need to tell you, you're all that I want
But it will not matter, so I'll keep my mouth shut

Here I am, reading into every single word you said
There you are, stuck in every single corner of my head
I keep rehearsing these lines in my mind
But it's somebody else that's with you tonight
There you are, falling for him

I'll be there for everything you need
Know you mean the world to me
My heart will always belong with you
But not the way I want it to
I need to tell you, you're all that I want
But it will not matter, so I'll keep my mouth shut
While I fall for a friend

Here I am, reading into every single word you said
There you are, stuck in every single corner of my head
I've been so foolish, and I've fallen so hard
But all the while you are wrapped in his arms
Here I am, falling again

Sit right down and let me tell you
Everything that you mean to me
You rest your head on my shoulder
Next to the heart that's on my sleeve
My mind keeps running circles
Around the way you say my name
I'm not scared of what comes tomorrow
I'm just scared that things won't change

I need to tell you
You're all that I want
But it still won't matter
So I'll keep my mouth shut

I need to tell you
You're all that I want
But it will not matter
So I'll keep my mouth shut

Here I am, reading into every single word you said
There you are, stuck in every single corner of my head
I keep rehearsing these lines in my mind
But it's somebody else that's with you tonight
I've been so foolish, and I've fallen so hard
But all the while you are wrapped in his arms
I need to tell you, you're all that I want
But it still won't matter, so I'll keep my mouth shut
While I fall again
