I Can Wait

I can wait for you to realise what you really need

I can pray that from your pain you will be freed

I can hope that one day you will feel for me as I do you

I can wish that someday you'll say you love me too

I can say that we are better off as just friends

I can wait for my heart to slowly start to mend

I can want you here with me and always by my side

I can try to disguise my love for you and my feelings I can hide

I can help her make you fall for her once again

I can go back to that time you both caused me pain

I can pretend that I'm not in love with you anymore

I can swear that I have forgotten all we had before

I can smile at you as you take her as your wife

I can wave at you as you walk out of my life

I can listen as others say we were never meant to be

I can agree with you when you swear you aren't the guy for me

I can lie and say I'm fine and I'll survive without you

I can be your best friend and I will never doubt you

I can be there for you when she lets you down

I can be your shelter your shoulder and your clown

But I can't stop these tears falling from my eyes

Because the love I feel for you can never truly die

I can be truly happy for you that's something I can do

But I can never stop my heart from always loving you
