Lyrics

We've been good friends for a while now
You've always been around
You've been with me through my makeups and my breakups
You picked me up when I was down
Now you tell me that you're leavin' soon
There's really nothin' here for you
Just let me tell you what I'm feelin' right now
Then just go, if you're going to

I really never knew I loved you this way
Even though I really care
Just the thought that you are goin' away
Has really got me scared
Let me tell you that I love you...oo-ooh
And I've finally realized
You're everything I've ever wanted
And you've always been here
Right before my very eyes


I guess I didn't see the forest
'Cause all the trees got in the way
If I'd only been smart, and listened to my heart
I wouldn't feel like this today
What can I do or say to keep you here
I couldn't stand to have you gone
Life would be empty without you near
I hope I didn't wait too long

I really never knew I loved you this way
Even though I really care
Just the thought that you are going away
Has really got me scared
So let me tell you that I love you ... oo-ooh
And I've finally realized
You're everything I've ever wanted
And you've always been here
Right before my very eyes
Yeah, you've always been here
Right before my very eyes
