So enough you and I
We don’t see eye to eye
I’m tired of trying,
Always ending up crying
So when he raises his hand
Your beloved boyfriend
Do not come back to me
I’m not your shoulder to weep
And when your scars they last weeks
The tears stream down your cheeks
Just remember what I said
That he’s not your best friend
Let this remind you of me,
And how perfect we’d be
But you said 'no' to us
To a love you could trust
“I just want to stay friends
So our time doesn’t end”
I say “I understand”
And I’m forced to pretend
That I’m happy with a hug
“Are you really in love? ”
You don’t open your mouth
Just a nod and a shrug
Out of fear you maintain
Because the hurt and the pain
Are much easier to sustain,
Than to be alone, what a shame
If you had a guarantee
Things would last with you and me
Would you then tell me 'yes'
That will never happen I guess
“Make a choice, ” I tell you again
Cause when you break I cannot mend
Was it really worth it in the end?
To loose a lover and a best friend?
I hope someday you're happy again

Damn. That is just so painfully sad. A very emotive and moving piece.
I adore the line at the end. It's so ... final. But what's more, there is
a compassion in it that could steal an angel's breath. An altruistic wish.
