A bittersweet unrequited love song about a hopeless crush.
The person I like already has someone they love.
I’m just a close friend, the one they confide in.
The more I care about him, the sadder I feel wondering why he loves someone who isn’t me.
If only we had met sooner, maybe I could have been his girlfriend… That’s a thought that often comes up when you’re in a one-sided love.
They say love is all about timing, but it makes me wish I could turn back time and trade places with my rival.
