Five Years

Five years, my friend,
How could this be the end?
Is too selfish to ask for all or nothing?
After I've tried to give you everything...

...Everything you ever needed, I tried;
I tried to be the best I could for you
And in the old days, all night I cried,
Because my everything was nothing to you

How many years could we have made it
How many plans did we make,
And they say time's a healer for it -
This, our biggest mistake

Fives years, I called you my friend
And I had never met someone like you
Who said that we'd laugh 'til the end
Well our story's cut short, so what do I do?

You never could keep promises well,
Another part of you I still loved and cared for,
But like that, there's something I had to tell
And it's that I think I loved you, like nothing before

How many years could we have made it
How many plans did we make,
And they say time's a healer for it -
This, our biggest mistake

Mine, because I let you say those things to me
Why could I just not leave it be?
Yours because you said them with honesty,
Painful words, spiked with truth, is all I see

All those years, we said they've flown by
And that we'd have more and have reasons why
They could go on forever
And there was no problem being together

Five years, and have they ended like this?
It hadn't happened, I could wish
That this, our biggest mistake,
Isn't haunted by the plans we made...

How can I spend two more years with you?
Tell me honestly, what would you do?
I don't know you any more
You're not that man I thought you were before

So I'll leave you with this -
The hurt stopping a face to face meeting
This is my one final wish
That these years, however fleeting
In the comparison to life, and many years
That the man I knew once again appears
And that perhaps one day, we'll look back and smile
And we might say, thank God it only lasted a while

'Cos five years can't end like this
I never wanted the perfect kiss
I just wanted you, as my friend 'til the end
i just needed you to be there for me like you said, to the end.
