Oh as far- as far as I remember
You've been here- walking next to me
Just a friend- I thought was all I needed
Now I realise what a fool I've been

Here I am- the greatest of pretenders
Always looking- but too afraid to see
That this feeling going on inside me
Is a love that was always meant to be

God I wish I was your lover
Why did I have to wait
Guess I'll always be the lover too late

Chorus
Every time I see you
I'm aching- I'm breaking
If only I could tell you
You're more than a friend
If only I could show you
I love you forever
We'd never be apart
I could be the angel of your heart

There you go- leaving with another
Days without you- so hard to contemplate
If I count every lonely waking hour
Will I always be the lover too late

Chorus
God I wish I was your lover
Why did I have to wait
Guess I'll always be the lover too late
Every time…

Chorus to fade
