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
