Verse 1:
[G]
We were just kids, in the fourth grade,
[Em]
You followed me home, we laughed and played.
[C]
Time moved on, but I stayed your friend,
[D]
Never thought our story would come to an end.
Chorus:
[G]
Now I see you with him, it cuts like a knife,
[Em]
Thought I was the one to share your life.
[C]
But here I am, just watching you shine,
[D]
Heart in my throat, you were meant to be mine.
Verse 2:
[G]
Remember those nights, under the stars,
[Em]
You’d whisper secrets, yeah, we dreamed by the cars.
[C]
But feelings grew heavy, I held them inside,
[D]
Watching you smile, it’s a bittersweet ride.
Chorus:
[G]
Now I see you with him, it cuts like a knife,
[Em]
Thought I was the one to share your life.
[C]
But here I am, just watching you shine,
[D]
Heart in my throat, you were meant to be mine.
Bridge:
[Am]
So I’ll play it cool, hold my breath,
[G]
Wishing you joy, I’ll let go of the rest.
[Em]
In another life, maybe it’s fate,
[D]
But for now, dear friend, I’ll just wait.
Chorus:
[G]
Now I see you with him, it cuts like a knife,
[Em]
Thought I was the one to share your life.
[C]
But here I am, just watching you shine,
[D]
Heart in my throat, you were meant to be mine.
Outro:
[G]
So here’s to us, our childhood dreams,
[Em]
I’ll love you forever, or so it seems.

You’ll always be my favorite friend,

In this story of love that can never end.
