Lyrics

1. You've always been my friend
Best I ever had
The one that makes me smile
And the one that makes me sad.
On the promise of true love
On the pretense of romance
You held on to my heart
I held on to your hand.

Chorus1:
And all the forces in our way
Couldn't stop that wedding day
And now I look around and see us
I don't want to be the first to say...

2. The question isn't love
But are we quite done yet?
We could just keep going on
But not without regret.
That promise of true love
That pretense of romance
It's enough to break my heart
Have we had our last chance?

Chorus2:
And all the forces in our way
Conspire to make it seem okay
All of those years between us
How can I be the one to say...?

3. You're still my best friend
Until the bitter end
The question isn't love
But will it come again?
The fire's burned too low
The kindling all but spent
I said, "Leave it for tonight."
But you know what I meant.

Chorus3:
And all the forces now turn in
To hold us together 'til the end
Somebody has got to say it
I don't want to be the one to say...
Somebody has got to say it
We wanted something more.
We wanted something more.
