We grew up on the very same street,
Like sun and moon, our paths would meet.
Under one sky, we shared our youth,
A bond of innocent, simple truth.

I watched you blossom, year by year,
Your beauty shining, crystal clear.
A priceless gem, so sweet, so deep,
Secrets your lovely eyes would keep.

Time moved slow, I kept it quiet,
Just wanna way to tell the true
A long time, "I was in love with you."

But then a wedding invitation came to be,
I cried with heartache, it shattered me.
In a little scribble I see,
She wrote: "my dear, the true,
I'm getting married but,
the love of my life, it's you.

Watching over you safe and sound,
A very close friend, always around.
Yet I was blind to what grew strong,
A hidden pure love, where I belonged.

I saw you cozy in another's arms,
Walked away from all those charms.
Each step I counted, felt alone,
A silent pain, my heart unknown.

Time moved slow, I kept it quiet,
Just wanna way to tell the true
A long time, "I was in love with you."

But then a wedding invitation came to be,
I cried with heartache, it shattered me.
In a little scribble I see,
She wrote: "my dear, the true,
I'm getting married but,
the love of my life, it's you.

A bitter envy, deep inside,
Nowhere for my hurt to hide.
When truths unspoken go astray,
You cry alone and waste away.

But then a wedding invitation came to be,
I cried with heartache, it shattered me.
In a little scribble I see,
She wrote: "my dear, the true,
I'm getting married but,
the love of my life, it's you.
