You say it's hard on you
And sometimes to much to bear
Baby I understand
And believe me I'm afraid of losing it too

I wish I was the girl
That's sits across the room in your class
Then I would watch you and count every freckle
That's across your sweet face

So many things I wanna do
But I can't be with you
So many things I wanna say
But you're too far away
So many things I wanna do
But the pain is too great
So many things I wanna say
But I guess it's too late

Life ain't always the way
You want it to be and that's okay
Cause something tells me hunn
That this is the way I have to take

So many things I wanna do
But I can't be with you
So many things I wanna say
But you're too far away
So many things I wanna do
But the pain is too great
So many things I wanna say
But I guess it's too late

I don't want to be a burden on you
I don't want you to see me like I used to be
So let's be honest about the way to proceed
For the sake of the chance of making something more beautiful
Cause sometimes baby friendships can last you a lifetime

So many things I wanna do
But I can't be with you
So many things I wanna say
But you're too far away
So many things I wanna do
But the pain is too great
So many things I wanna say
But I guess it's too late
