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
