Lyric

I saw the way you looked at her

And felt the ground fall under me

I smiled and said, “She’s lucky,”

But inside, I broke quietly

She’s my best friend, you're her childhood flame

I never had a chance, never had a name

But something in me wouldn’t let go

Just one day with you, and my heart said no

“No, you can’t walk away this time”

Even if it ends with cries

I knew the truth, still crossed the line

Even knowing you'd never be mine

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

I knew I'd fall, knew it’d hurt

But I still chose you first

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

I’d rather break than wonder “what if?”

So I gave you my heart, even for a minute

You held her hand, I looked away

Told myself, “don’t hope today”

But love’s not logic, love’s not fair

It finds you frozen, unaware

And still I said the words out loud

Heart shaking but I stood proud

Even though your eyes said no

At least you’d finally know

You didn’t lie, didn’t pretend

You just smiled, said “we’re friends”

But I walked home with open wounds

Feeling lighter under the moon

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

I knew I'd fall, knew it’d hurt

But I still chose you first

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

I’d rather break than wonder “what if?”

So I gave you my heart, even for a minute

Why do we chase what we can't hold?

Why do the brave feel so alone?

But I won't regret that I loved true

Even if it was never you

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Not every love is meant to stay

But I had to say it anyway

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Tootttoo taritataa-laa Tootttoo tariraraa

Even if it tore me in two

I loved you the only way I knew

(You were never mine… but I was truly yours)
