My "Best" Friend

You went from lover to friend in the blink of an eye
Funny what a difference dropping the "girl" 
from the front of "girlfriend" makes
Symmetry
But maybe it's better this way
I was never going to be able to keep you
But this way I can.

I couldn't afford to keep you anyway.
The definitive material girl
But I love you just the same
Only not "that way"
My very best friend

You're too honest to be my girlfriend
You'd tell me stuff I didn't want to know.
But as my friend your honesty is perfect
It worked out nocely didn't it
I still love you just the same
Only not "that way"

My very closest friend
Maybe
We're still learning about each other
I know you love me as a friend
Cos we're different now
Friends
I still love you just the same
Only not "that way"
Yeah.....Right
