I've been trying to find the right words
but somehow those words won't come
trying to find the right words
instead I trip over my tongue

I keep seeing your face and hearing that sweet voice
But if only there could be another choice
to give up the gauntlet and claim defeat
with your criteria and past , I've not the right to compete

My fault
for letting you go
where no one should have been
I was not looking for a lover
yet needing more than a friend

Not worthy to hold a candle
to those you have known
it isn't mine to take
what you have unknowingly sown

Too soon,too soon
the song is nearing it's end
from who will write her love song
to more than whispers from a friend

I can no longer expect to see
more than you are unwilling to give

and I know that deep inside
is where you will always live

So now I wait in the shadows
it is where I should have been
to sleep until I am awakened
by the whispers of more than a friend
