It was not meant to be

I can never be with you
and i know the reason why
and everytime i talk to you
its like the perfect lie

im sorry i fell for you
but it was so hard to let go
it was like the perfect match
but no one else could know

i fake it with a rose
i hide it with a smile
we are close but yet so far
im hurting all this while

i tried to ignore the signs
that would reveal how i feel
i know its impossible between us
i know this fact for real

we came to acknowledge each other
and grew quite close lately
but it feels weve known each other
for all eternity

so many nights i ponder
why has it become like this?
cause i just want to break free
but im caught in this abyss

i didnt expect our friendship
to turn out in this way
we started off as good pals,
he would brighten up my day

it blossomed into something more
but we both didnt have a clue
we could talk about anything under the sun
then our feelings for each other grew

was it a mistake? i ask myself
in the end, we will both get hurt
cause time played a naughty trick on us
when we both were not alert

can we close the gap between us
the difference we have is great
i wanted you to be happy too
but alas, we cant alter fate

i wish for a fairytale ending
together just you and me
but itll never be like in the storybooks
i guess it was not meant to be
