Lyrics
Ever since we met, I been by your side
Expressing continuous support and companionship since the moment of meeting.
Did all that I could, just to see you smile
Putting effort into making the other person happy, going above and beyond to see them smile.
I never said a word because I was afraid
Choosing silence out of fear that expressing feelings might lead to rejection.
You wouldn't feel the same and then you'd turn away
Worrying that revealing true emotions could result in the person turning away due to not reciprocating the feelings.
Can we stay like this, say you're only mine
Desiring an exclusive commitment, expressing the hope to be the only one in the other person's life.
I know nothing lasts forever
Acknowledging the impermanence of things, understanding that nothing lasts indefinitely.
So I just want to say
Expressing a desire to convey something important, possibly due to the realization of the transient nature of relationships.
I'm just glad to be beside you
Feeling grateful for being close to the person, irrespective of potential challenges or uncertainties.
Even if you look the other way
Accepting the possibility that the other person may not reciprocate attention but still finding joy in being near them.
Now you been talkin bout some other guy
Acknowledging the presence of another person in the other's life and discussing it.
Asked me for advice, how to catch his eye
Being approached for advice on attracting someone else's attention.
I know I know I know that I should speak up
Recognizing the need to speak up about personal feelings despite the hesitations.
I know you better than anyone else does
Asserting a deep understanding of the other person compared to anyone else.
But when I see how happy he makes you
Observing the happiness the other person experiences with someone else.
I can't help but think
Expressing conflicted emotions about witnessing the happiness of the other person with someone new.
I know nothing lasts forever
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the transient nature of relationships.
So I just want to say
Repeating the desire to convey something important in the face of impermanence.
I'm just glad to be beside you
Reiterating gratitude for being close to the person, even if attention is directed elsewhere.
Even if you look the other way
Re-emphasizing acceptance of the possibility of unreciprocated feelings but finding happiness in proximity.
I know nothing lasts forever
Restating the recognition of the finite nature of relationships.
So I just want to say
Reiterating the desire to express something meaningful given the temporality of relationships.
I'm just glad to be beside you
Reiterating gratitude for closeness despite uncertainties or the potential of attention being elsewhere.
Even if you look the other way
Re-emphasizing finding joy in being close to the person, even if their focus is on someone else.
