now i'm seventeen, fourteen is so last sunday

i said i wish you never knew
how i feel for you
it's hard to be just friends now after all
i said i wanted more
he said how can you be so sure
i'm not sure i'm faithful after all

but i'm still happy when i get to hold his hand
he says i can hold it but remember we're just friends
and i try, and i try, and i try to be satisfied
after all he keeps me alive

i'm happy when he smiles
if only for awhile
it's hard to just ignore a face like that
i wish he was everywhere
i wish his hand was in my hair
i would have been less lonely for a while

but i'm still happy when i get to hold his hand
he says i can hold it but remember we're just friends
and i try, and i try, and i try to be satisfied
after all he keeps me alive
