it made me cry

You listen to her voice on the phone
Going on and on about her day
The girl you just now started talking to
The one you dont even know
But there's something about this girl
This girl you want to get to know
The girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________

You pull her close
Putting your arms around her
She doesnt notice as you stare down at her
You kiss her, and it means everything
As you stare into the eyes of your GF
The girl you adore
The girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________

I love you
The words flow so gently off your lips
To the girl who is your best friend
The one you've known only a few weeks
The one you feel like you've known forever
The one no matter how much you deny it now...
You fell in love with
The girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________

There's something about this girl
You've never felt this way about anyone
So comfortable...So happy...
You say you love each other
But only you know....How much you love her...
The girl you'd die for
The girl you'd never let go of...
The girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________

"Answer, please" her voice begs
You ignore her
You try to go on with your day
You try to hide the prickle of tears in your eyes...
As she asks "Are you mad at me? Whats wrong?"
You want to reassure herMake her happy...
But the truth is you cant....This girl you love...
This girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________

You love herYou still doBut its scaring you...
You cant love her...Shes just another girl
So you ignore the callsLeave her alone...
Act like nothing ever happened....

5 years later::

She looks gorgeous
Youre looking past your date to the prom...
To the girl across the room
The one you talk to now....Your best friend...
The one who's so gorgeousThe one you want...
Who runs over and kisses your cheek
Shes so happy....But something in her eyes...
You stare into the eyes of the girl your afraid to love...
The girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________

You see her standing there
Shes still as beautiful as she was the day you met
10 years before...
You see her almost everydayBut now its different...
Her wedding dress flows gently on her
The young girl you know better than anyone
She knows your secretsYou know hers...
You've done everything with her
The girl you now wish you would have told you love her
The girl you let go

_____________________________________________________________

Years pass
Slowly
You see her everyday
You watch her kids grow up
She watches yours..
1, 2, then 3
You watch her grow up too
You think slowlyOnly if it was us...
Only if I hadnt let her go

_____________________________________________________________

The day comes
As you tell the girl you love...
That you love her
As a single tear rolls down your cheek
And you tell her what couldve been
You think of those memories...That no one could replace...
You say one last time to the girl you love
I love you
As they lower into the ground, the casket...
Of the girl you let go

You wonder how you could have ever let her go
Because you never told the girl you love
That you love her so
