This song's about a friend
A friend I've known since I was a child
He and I would talk about our lives
And what we thought love was all about
He was my boy
I love that boy to death and
Even now not much has changed
Except for how I see him with my heart
'Cause now my eyes don't see the same
But he has no idea
How I feel inside
So I go on with my foolish pride
Walking away
Though deep inside
I wanna stay

This day I was prepared
And vulnerable as I could be
But when he stopped by
I couldn't even speak
'Cause of what stood right in front of me
To my surprise
He brought along someone
Oh some random chick that he just met
As usual I smiled and shook her hand
Covering up my heart again

But he has no idea
How I feel inside
So I go on with my foolish pride
Walking away
Though deep inside
I wanna stay

So I go on with my foolish pride
So I go on all alone at night
So I go on living knowing it ain't right
So I just let my heart continue to hide
Knowing my heart is so empty inside
I know he should be here by my side
I should be holding him instead of my pillow tight
But my foolish pride
Makes me walk away
Though deep inside
I just wanna stay
Oooh
