All this time I’ve loved you
But I was just a friend
You never felt the same
Just like how it’s always been
When we were sixteen, we weren’t so free, you and me
That’s when I fell in love with you
But even then I had to hide all the tears I cried inside
Cuz you didn’t love me too
Friends came into my life and went
Only to fade away
And even when you’re next to me
I know you’ll be gone someday
And all the times your heart was broken, it was merely a token
Of some neverland Peter Pan boys
And you always said that I was sweet, but I knew it couldn’t be
And the rest was only ever noise
All your boyfriends didn’t last
They were just flashes in the pan
It’s old news but I can’t get past
The fact I’ll never be your man
There’s so much that I could tell about how I fell
But I always kept deep inside my mind
All the hopes and dreams and needless things
About what the future brings
That I’ll never show outside
So I’ll just stay right here
Always by your side
Always the childhood friend
Always much too shy
