The Effort
The damage is done, all the words are said
 Things are different now, but our friendships not dead
 It’ll take some work that much I know
 And it will take some time for my heart to grow
 I don’t want anger or jealousy, disappointment or sadness
 What I want is you in my life, even if it’s just as friends
 I still say you were scared that day when you turned and ran
 ‘You’re and important friend’ that’s what you told me
 I want to believe that’s true, but the efforts not there
 So here I am
 Smiling a fake smile
 Filling time with shallow conversation
 Just to keep you around
