Lyric

When you looked at me and said, "I love him so,"

If I’d only found the strength to let you know

That my heart was beating for him just the same

Maybe I’d be free from all this grief and shame

I could’ve smiled and cheered for you with pride

With nothing left for me to deeply hide

'Cause we’re friends, yes we’re friends, that’s the bond we hold

But we could’ve been rivals, brave and bold

Now the love I buried, deep within my soul

Has nowhere left to go, out of my control

Just wandering in shadows, lost and all alone

You went out to dinner, you were so elate

Told me all the details of your perfect date

Every happy word just cuts me like a knife

The secret heavy burden of my quiet life

If I’d told you how it hurts to hear your joy

Would you have stayed my friend, or seen it as a ploy?

Would you have been surprised? Or shared a tear with me?

If I’d shown the side that you were never meant to see

But I kept the mask on, held my breath so tight

While you found your sun, I stayed here in the night

'Cause we’re friends, yes we’re friends, that’s the bond we hold

But we could’ve been rivals, brave and bold

Now the love I buried, deep within my soul

Has nowhere left to go, out of my control

Just wandering in shadows, lost and all alone

Nowhere to go

Just a friendly lie

A soul without a map
