It Would Be Easy

it would be easy
to be yours again
and convince myself that it's okay
to look in your eyes
and make believe
that we mean all the things that we say
it would be easy
to lie to myself
and say that you were the one
you're a dear friend
we get along great
and we always have lots of fun
it would be easy
to wake to your kisses
and sleep tight each night by your side
to smile when we're out
and tell you i love you
and convince you this is not a lie
it would be easy
to sell myself short
and settle down in your safe grasp
but i know i can't love you
as much as another
and this facade with us would never last
so i must stop this now
and not lead you on
you deserve so much better than me
you don't understand now
but someday you will
just friends is all we can be.
