This might come as quite a shock
But I've given it a lot of thought
This thing that's come between us can't be ignored
'I have to come clean about this I can't hide it anymore, I have to tell her.' I told myself, watching Syd from across the office.
"I'm glad you decided to come tonight," I smiled answering the door that night.
"Wouldn't have missed it."
I've taken all I can
This is where it's gotta end
Cause I can't be your friend anymore
"Syd, I can't keep doing this . . . " I trail off as her head pops up to look at me.
"Can't do what?" she asks innocently.
"I can't be your friend anymore."
And I can't be accused
Of not being there for you
How many nights have you shown up at my door?
"I can't keep being the best friend, I don't want to be the one that comforts you when some guy breaks your heart. I can't be the accused one I've always been there."
"Gage what are you saying?" she asks slightly alarmed reaching for my hand.
I hope you understand
That this wasn't in my plans
But I can't be your friend anymore.
"This wasn't the way I planned it I just want you to know that, I don't want to be your friend anymore," I sigh looking at her seeing the pain and hurt in her eyes as they slowly fill with tears.
"I understand I'll just leave then." She grabs her stuff and starts to head for the door.
And it's killing me to know you
Without having a chance to hold you
And all I want to do is show you
How I really feel inside
"I don't think you do understand," I grab her wrist before she bolts, "It kills me to see you everyday and never get to hold you and show you exactly what you mean to me."
"Gage?" she asks looking more closely into my eyes.
You can run to me
You can laugh at me
Or you can walk right out that door
But I can't be your friend anymore
"You can chose me, or laugh at me, hell you could even keep walking out my door, but I just can't be your friend anymore," I let go of her wrist and she stood and watched me.
"What do you expect me to say to that?"
So baby now it's up to you
Do I win or do I lose?
Will my heart fly or lie broken on the floor?
"It's your choice," I walk over to the couch sitting down and placing my head in my hands. "What's it gonna be? Am I going to live as a single for the rest of my life?"
Well take me as I am
Cause I wanna be your man
But I can't be your friend anymore
And it's killing me to know you
Without having a chance to hold you
And all I want to do is show you
How I really feel inside
You can run to me
You can laugh at me
Or you can walk right out that door
But I can't be just friend anymore
"I wanna me your man," I sing along with the radio.
"You already are my man," she sighs kissing my bare chest softly, "that's the smartest thing you've ever done."
"I know, it just took me awhile to realize what it was exactly."
We can't be just friends anymore
