He Keeps Me Alive

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 awhile

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
