Lyrics:
Early one morning while you were asleep
I received a letter, but there was no addressee
So I paid it no mind, in fact, I wanted to send it back
But something that I was feeling said open it
It said "Dear Reader, once close friend of mine
Hope that this letter finds you in time
Cos your love is ending
And my life's just beginning
With a woman that I know you hold dear to you"
And it made me wanna say
I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't, I don't)
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you baby
(Yeah yeah yeah)
I don't ever wanna see you again (no)
Tell me why did it have to be my best friend
(Why did it have to be)
That you were messing round with
I didn't wanna notice it
I was true to my love for you-ou
It took me a minute to wake up and see
What the love of my life was doing to me
I wanted to lay down and die
Cos my pride wouldn't let me cry
Some how I knew I had to get over it
He said he couldn't understand until he felt your touch
Now he can see why I love you so much
And that's so unfair
I never thought I'd have to share
Your love that I thought was given to only me
And that's why
I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't wanna see)
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear (clear)
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you baby (ooh)
I don't ever wanna see you again
Tell me why did it have to be my best friend
(You could of picked anybody)
That you were messing round with
I didn't wanna notice it
I was true to my love for you
(I was so true to my love for you)
And you say you loved me
(And you said you loved me baby)
Love must of been blind
Cos I sure didn't see this one coming
I once was blind but now I see
My best friend huh
They say keep the ones you love close
And your enemies even closer
But I can't win or lose you
(You are the closest thing to me baby)
Cos the one I thought was a friend to me
Ended up being my true enemy
Do we know the real pain you go through
Listen to me baby
I gave you everything, my love and my ring
And you, why you leading me
And I don't wanna see you again
I don't ever wanna see you again (I don't wanna see)
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear (clear)
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you baby (ooh)
I don't ever wanna see you again
Tell me why did it have to be my best friend
(You could of picked anybody)
That you were messing round with
I didn't wanna notice it
I was true to my love for you
(I was so true to my love for you)
