Love For A Friend

Time and time and time again
They say to never fall inlove with a friend.
But what can i do with a smile so sweet,
So sweet like candy it'll rot your teeth.
And i wish these feelings to not be true
But i cannot lie I'm in love with you
So before it all falls apart
I hope this song isn't our last
I pray to to the the heavens, hoping they'll listen
And I know I've failed, when those tear-streaked cheeks glisten
Begging for you to hear my heart
Though you never did from the start
I'm sorry to ruin what we had,
But I'm glad,
To have fallen in love with you.
