Just Friends

Love's the only thing I have known in this life
That's cut me deeper than the sharpest knife.
Love's the only thing thats ever made me cry
Sadness is the sound,
I can take a few tears now and then
I pretend I'm okay.
It's hard to deal with the pain of losin you.
I'm still livin with your goodbye
Time is leaving us behind
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better.
I don't know how I got to where I am
I never pictured every minute
without you in it!!
I'm overcome with grief
as I slowly die inside.
He doesn't know it kills me
that he's no longer mine.
I was once the lucky one,
but now I'm just a friend.
