Verse 1
You'd think that after all we've done I could face you,
That after everything we've been through my feelings would flow,
But still, every time I'm near you, my breath is swept away,
And in spite of my intentions,
I'm still scared to let it show,

Verse 2
Now I'm afraid that the distance we've gone wasn't worth it,
(What a friend you've been to me)
That now the journey's done with, this is the end,
(I don't wanna say goodbye)
But after all the roads we've walked down, I can't bear to let you go,
'Cause all I have are memories, (These memories)
And you've been my best friend, (Of my best friend)

Chorus
And every tear I ever cried
Helped strengthen me before it died,
And every time I see you I fall in love again
And every struggle we came through
Left memories we'll never lose,
And I've realised you've been my truest friend

Verse 3
And now that we stand at the crossroads, what really matters?
(Won't you tell me what you're thinking)
Be sure before you turn your back, and walk away,
(Why's it gotta be this way?)
It seems we were fools all along, and we took all the wrong turns,
But can't we have a second chance, (Let's start over)
Tomorrow's a new day, (And see the new day)

Repeat chorus

Bridge
Why couldn't I see how special you were all along?
Why did I keep pretending that I was so strong?

Ending
Cause after all is said and done,
You are still the only one,
And I love you,
And I always will,
I always will
