Best Friend

It wasn’t your smile or your laugh, that led me on the path – to your love.
It wasn’t the color of your eyes, the way you made me care – just for you.
But after we walked, after we talked
I saw my future next to you.

I say you’re my best friend
‘Cause I really don’t want ‘em to know
Each time’s a betrayal
But your arms-the only place I can go
And it hurts us so
But their illusions have no end
And I call you my best friend


Took awhile ‘til we were ready, to make this thing steady-pledged our hearts
When you let me spend the night it was so cool, so right- it was you
And after we walked, after we talked
I made my destiny next to you

I say you’re my best friend
‘Cause I really don’t want ‘em to know
Each time’s a betrayal
But your arms- the only place I can go
And it hurts us so
But their illusions have no end
And I call you my best friend


As much as I love you
Why do I always close that door?
I wanna claim you
Express to the world my love . . .

Repeat chorus
