Love Is Not Greater Than My Friends

I lived down the streets
Just a normal looking guy
Never wonder who am I
Just love to see the sky

My studies isn't good
But in average at least
I could never get As
Can't even pay my school fees

On a fine normal day
I hang around with my friends
We were losers and slackers
But our friendship never ends

I met this girl on that day
I had never see her before
Although she is always with the group
She was always ignored

I talk to her on that moment
She stared at me with a fine gaze
I smiled and blushed
At her beautiful white face

She told me about her life
And I told her mine
We shared common things together
And our world began to shine

I brought her out to movies
A moment for us to remember
We had our first kiss
Which bring us closely together

We took pictures together
It was a memory of us
Thinking that we will be together forever
Our love that will last

Although my friends gave me advice
Not to be complacent
I told them I am not
But only our hearts that will open

One problem seem to rise
And I did not take it too hard
I know we must had a problem once
But I just kept my mouth shut

Then the problem became worse
And I started to drink
Don't know what I was thinking
It was my heart that started to sink

I called her one day
She did not call back
I just sat down by the phone
I became too upset

My teachers began to nag at me
As my studies went down
They insulted me with their haunting words
But I pretend there was no sound

More depression began to rise
And my heart feel so hurt
I want to make her realised
That I will listen to her words

She was always with her friends
And seldom with me
I wanted to give her a gift
That may be help her to feel freely

But it was too late
She doesn't seem to care anymore
And I don't want to wait
This is not like we were before

I let go of her hands
I ripped off her gift
I threw away her pictures
Left for me to breath

Then I start to think again
Whether I should separate
Got advices from my friends
Tell me not to wait

My friends started to console me
And they even cheered me up
They made me forget about my problem
They just want me to chill out

What happened to her
I don't want to care
She betrayed me and hurt me
I will let her in despair

I want to go away from all of this
I want to be the normal guy again
At least I still had my friends
And they are the ones who helped me in the end
I thanked them once again
