Can you feel how I ache for you?
It's a simple song and my heart beats to tune
A pain in my chest as you laugh through the day
My mind fills up with things to say
Yet I cannot speak, how I feel I cannot say
I watch as you drift further away
Will nothing I say convince you to stay?
Can you see it in my eyes
The painful love I try so hard to hide
I cannot tell you, you're slipping away
I paste on my smile as I grieve inside
You will be happy with them, that other
A person who will love you in ways I could not
Still I will loyally stand beside you
Even as my heart break in two
I just want you to be happy
But what if happy means WE cannot be
I am just a lonely friend
Whose unhappiness will never show
