Lyrics:

You feel like my best friend,
like my safety net.
And I know in my heart
I can never forget.

It's just like the movies,
except when it's not,
and I don't think we are together
at the end of this plot.

It hurts me to say this,
but it's got to come out
though it feels i have four gaping
holes in my mouth.

The future is uncertain,
but of mistakes I am sure,
for ignorance
there is no better cure.

What else can I do?
When I know the right thing to do?

I can't believe I did it.
And now that it's done,
I seem to have convinced myself
that you were the one.

Is what I've ended,
more than I'll begin?
Or is that a lie that my
broken heart spins.

What else could I do?
When I knew the right thing to do?

Where else can I go?
When you are the only one I know?

I constantly worry that you're over me
and you say it's unlikely but I disagree.
This is the inherent risk I have to take,
letting our relationship fall out to fate.
But what if you see her on one of those days
when you least expect anything to go your way
and she catches you off gaurd with her charming smile
and your head moves an inch but your heart moves a mile.

What else could I do?
When I knew the right thing to do?

Where else can I go?
When you are the only one I know?

You felt like my best friend.
Like my safety net.
And I know in my heart
I could never forget.

"But what if you see her on one of those days

when you least expect anything to go your way

and she catches you off guard with her charming smile

and your head moves an inch but your heart moves a mile."

That's some good lyric writing right there.
