Please check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 We said we'd be just friends, and I agreed, Thought I could hide the want, deny the need. But every time you laugh or touch my hand, I miss the love we had, please understand. You sit beside me, talkin’ through your day, And I pretend I’m fine with all you say. You smile so big, your hair falls in your eyes, And I can’t help but think of late night sighs. You lean in close to share a private joke, I think of nights so close, we never spoke. I nod and laugh, as if it’s all okay, But girl, I miss your body every day. We still go out and share our daily walk, And I'm still there each time you need to talk. I lie awake each night and miss your touch, I miss your voice, your skin, it's all too much. I’d rather have you here than lose it all, So if you need me, I'll still take your call. I’m close to you in every way that shows, Just not the way I want, no, not that close. Sometimes I see you with your family, And I still long to feel you next to me. You text me later just to say goodnight, While I still ache to hold you through the night. We’re talkin' like we never crossed that line, But I still long for days when you were mine. Now every hug we share before goodbye Just hides the truth I'm tryin' to deny. We still go out and share our daily walk, And I'm still there each time you need to talk. I lie awake each night and miss your touch, I miss your voice, your skin, it's all too much. I’d rather have you here than lose it all, So if you need me, I'll still take your call. I’m close to you in every way that shows, Just not the way I want, no, not that close. You’ll never know how much I want you back, How deep I feel the things our friendship lacks. I’ll stay here, right by your side, it's true. If this is all I get, I’ll still choose you. I'll still choose you. We still go out and share our daily walk, And I'm still there each time you need to talk. I lie awake each night and miss your touch, I miss your voice, your skin, it's all too much. I’d rather have you here than lose it all, So if you need me, I'll still take your call. I’m close to you in every way that shows, Just not the way I want, no, not that close. Not that close.
