Story Behind The Song

One day I asked a long time friend whom I had grown up with if she wanted to date me. She first thought it was a joke. Once she realized I was serious, she said no because she didn't want to lose what we had. I didn't hear from her for over 2 years

Song Description

Two childhood friends grow up together. Over time he falls in love with her. When he shares his feelings, they are only one-sided & she doesn't talk to him for several years

Lyrics

We were only kids
Childhood friends
We loved each other
Like brother and sister
Nothing else mattered then
We shared a sacred dream, a promise
We were immensely happy
Forever we would stay like this

Please listen quietly to this
There is something you should know
Then tell me if you want this too
We shared one dream, a promise
Like a moment in time
We thought it would never end

Then I realized I had fallen in love with you
It was all of a sudden, but happened over time
Looking back, it grew little by little each day
All those countless hours of board games
The peaceful nights we'd sit around the campfire
Or our seemingly senseless conversations
Oh how I miss those times
But we're two hearts divided by love

We're divided by love
And separated by fear
It's time we move on & walk away
It's time we put our dreams to rest
'Cause we're divided by love

('Cause) with three words I lost it all
The innocent love of two childhood friends
And I lost the greatest gift, you
All because I fell in love
