You've been so kind

You've been so kind
Right from the start
At first we were friends
And we played the part

But something happened
Still can't figure out what
Just realized that I liked you
And, well, that was that

Everything I wanted
I found in you
And at first I wondered
Is this love?  Is this true?

And as I knew you more
They couldn't help but see
My friends, they felt
What you were doing to me

I was falling in love
I was falling for you
You told me to stop
But there was nothing I could do

You've been so kind
You understood
You let me love you
You've been so good

And as we spent
More time together
I couldn't help but think
That things could only get better

But deep down I knew
Friends is all we'd be
Deep down I knew
You couldn't like me

We talked to each other
And we've always been honest
We would be good friends
You told me in earnest

Friendship is good
It's better than nothing
But I just can't help it
I'm so sorry but I'm hurting

You've been so kind
Right from the start
But we're just friends
And it breaks my heart
