Song For A Friend Lyrics
Jason Mraz
Lyrics
I can not hide the way I feel
I never said that I wanted this for real
You never tried to see the signs
'Cause now I know it is time to cross that line
I have known you long long time for sure
Why is it weird that I'm asking you for more
I can not hide the way I feel
I've always wanted you for real
When will you ever understand
I'm not searching for a friend
My life has changed the past few years
And some might say I'm too young to have a chance
But every time you're here I know
There's nowhere else in this world I'd rather go
You're the prettiest boy I've ever seen
And now I want the adventure to begin
I can not hide the way I feel
I never said that I wanted this for real
You never tried to see the signs
'Cause now I know it is time to cross that line
I have known you long long time for sure
Why is it weird that I'm asking you for more
I can not hide the way I feel
I've always wanted you for real
When will you ever understand
I'm not searching for a friend For a friend
