You’ve always been a good friend, girl.
You’ve always been the best.
Whenever you’re within my world,
I just forget the rest.
And anytime you need someone
To tell your troubles to,
I’ve got the shoulder you cry on.
I’m always there for you.
I know somewhere within your heart
There’s a tiny place for me,
But lying there within your arms
Is a place I’ll never be.
We can’t get past this thing we share,
This friendship from the past,
And when you look for one who cares,
It’s me you look to last.
We’ve known each other much too long
For me to tell you lies.
I’m letting you string me along,
So don’t apologize.
Each time somebody breaks your heart,
You always turn to me,
But lying there within your arms
Is a place I’ll never be.
