The Girl Next Door

We've known eachother
from a long time ago.
There's nothing that gets past me,
there's nothing I don't know.

We're the best of friends
and I care for you so dear.
But soon the "caring" got deeper
it turned to a love I fear.

I promised that I wouldn't love you
and I was doing it all so well.
But you told me of another girl,
it was my heart that fell.

What happened to my promise
where did it all go?
I tried to search forever
but I fear I wouldn't know.

As the months did pass,
we slowly slipped away.
Secretly I hoped
that you'd be here one day.

So I stayed in my room,
and wondered where we stood.
For you didn't know of my feelings,
and I hoped you never would.

My feelings built up inside me
and there they would remain.
Locked up in my heart,
to go forever unchanged.

But waiting for you
to realize how i felt,
Felt so foolish,
like the little keebler elf.

When my feelings were behind me
it was too late and you were gone.
So I sat there wondering,
"What had I done wrong?"

Now I see you with her
and hope that she was me.
But I remain just your friend,
dying in you sea.

So from my window,
I'll love you more.
But til' that day,
I'm just the girl next door.
