Back to before

When you came into my life

I watched you from afar

You didn't seem meant for me

My friend fit your standard though

But I did mind as yours fit mine

We both knew that wouldn't last

You could never settle for just one


I always had a feeling 

A feeling that we would be left in the end

How I would long for you

It seemed like you agreed


You and the new girl were more fit though

So I played the long game

Listened to the problems you shared

Learned your favorite songs

The pros, the cons, what you like or what you don't

I began to really like you

Deep down I hoped you thought the same


When you weren't obtainable

That didn't stop our fate

Tuning every reputation either of us had

We risked it all

Rumors flew

The truth came out

Now that all has been said and done 

I want to go back

Back to being friends


Now that I have you i feel the pain

I know you can never settle for one

I know that your friend will never just be a friend

I know about your secret meet ups

When I know everything

Trust becomes hard


And I start to realize the reality

I don't fit your standards

And you sure as hell don't fit mine
