Conversations, day after day, at all hours without end
Every life experience, we’ve shared it together
We’ve never crossed the line. Never dared to take it further
Our friendship was so easy; there’s no one else I trust
I was there for all your breakups, as you were there for mine
We’ve always had this best-friend kind of love, never lust
Thought nothing could ever divide us, so what has changed this time?
This feeling grows inside me
A deep longing need in my soul
I want to say the words out loud
It’s you, you’re all I crave
What happened? What’s changed that’s made my thoughts a mess?
Now I have the urge to change our perfect bond. Should I confess?
I steal glances at her face and watch her every move.
If she noticed my staring and knew the truth, would she disapprove?
Can I open my heart to her? Will she push me away?
I need a distraction before I screw this up and make a big mistake.
If not, it all might fall apart, and she’ll run, not stay.
I need to find a woman to date and do it for her sake.
This feeling grows inside me
A longing need, deep in my soul
I want to say the words out loud
It’s you. You’re all I crave
I’ve known him for so many years, closer than a brother
I’ve shared my highs and lows with no other
My trust in him and his in me is our lasting bond
I know I can count on him for all my needs and beyond
Never have I looked at him as more than my dearest friend
All other men I’ve dated and compared to him have felt short
The few guys I truly liked, all promising relationships still, had to end
My thoughts would wander to him instead of to my escorts
This feeling grows inside me
A deep longing need in my soul
I want to say the words out loud
It’s you, you’re all I crave
How has my heart changed this much? This can’t possibly end well.
Something about me is off. I feel lost and under a spell.
My mind keeps going to him every time I have these thoughts
He’s been everything to me. The pieces come together, connecting the dots.
Panicking now that he’ll find out and I’ll lose him if he knows.
I chose not to take that risk and to keep this secret hidden.
I’m sure my friend would be opposed
I’ll date again and find a man because my friend is still forbidden.
This feeling grows inside me
A deep longing need in my soul
I want to say the words out loud
It’s you, you’re all I crave
I can’t stand seeing her with anyone but me
My heart is hers, and I never knew until today. I’m not free
I belong to her alone, and I have to tell her now, not later
She belongs with me, and I can’t stand seeing anyone else date her
He’s on a date, and I am beside myself in bitter tears
I should have spoken my truth to him because I can’t stop this pain
Knowing he’s with someone else compounds all my fears
Fears of losing the love of my life are making me insane
This feeling grows inside me
A deep longing need in my soul
I need to say the words out loud
It’s you, you’re all I crave
Evening comes, and our dates are on their way, and we’re acting desperate
We look at each other with so much love, we can’t help it
Our stares deepen as we lean slowly closer, our lips almost touch
A first kiss barely out of reach, so close it won’t take much
We’re so afraid and can’t believe the other wants this
But then we connect and flames ignite, our passions lighting fires
Kissing each other feels like home and never-ending bliss.
The deepest love lifts our souls and feeds our desires
This feeling had grown inside us
A deep longing, a need in our souls
We said the words out loud and clear
It’s always been you; you’re all I’ve ever craved
