(written for a Female to sing)

Now I’ve finally sit to write myself a song

I don’t have to wonder what it’s gonna be on

 Some people they write about places

 And some write about great events

 Most write of those familiar faces

 And love words come from most pens

 And this song that I’m writing

 It is something I’m feeling

And it’s about a person I know so well!

 

            I never wanted to lose your friendship

            And all the support you been giving me

Every time you show you honestly care

            I didn’t think it would happen

            I expected you to always wait for me

I thought you’d always be there

            I thought you’d always be there!

 

This song well it’s kinda sad for me

It’s hurting that you found somebody

 I know you wanted me so long

 I never did accept your offer

 I know I often let you down

 But you never seemed the type to suffer

 Please excuse me I’m not good at this

 My feelings are always hard to express

Especially to someone I need but slowly losing

 

For       I never wanted to lose your friendship

            And all the support you been giving me

Every time you show you honestly care

            I didn’t think it would happen

            I expected you to always wait for me

I thought you’d always be there

            I thought you’d always be there!

 

(up tempo)

If she’s good to you

I know I’ll be better

If she’s good to you

I know you much better

I’ll be good to you

I’m ready for you now

Let me be good to you

Say you’re still feeling it now!

 

 

 

(slower)

Cause I

Thought you’d always be there

To lift me up when I’m feeling down

You said

You’re always be my friend

To show me ‘round this busy town

But you found someone

And I know how you are

You’re gonna stick to her side

She’s gonna be your star

And all you used to be to me

And all you used to want to be

You won’t want that anymore and I see it’s evident

I thought you’d always be there waiting on me permanent!

 

I never wanted to lose your friendship

            And all the support you been giving me

Every time you show you honestly care

            I didn’t think it would happen

            I expected you to always wait for me

I thought you’d always be there

            I thought you’d always be there!
