From 1st grade through 12th grade and graduation day
I told you I'd be there for you and would never stray
Easy cause you're the girl next door to me
Through good times and bad times and victory and tragedy
We stood the test of time but now I see a falling out
And though you're still next door to me, our friendship's in doubt
You were my first friend, my first love, I thought you'd be my all
But relationships dissolve when new friends are involved
I see you're not the same girl you were back then
Please tell me, when did I lose you as my friend
I'd give of myself to get you back in my life
But this darkness in daylight only adds strife
Why can't you take this hand that I'll extend
It beckons you to become my friend again
Why can't you take this hand that I'll extend
It beckons you to become my friend again
It's so hard for me to see you push away my hand
Treating me as less, when I only do the best I can
To give you your space, and let you grow until you bloom
In eagerness I digress and hope that one day soon
You and I will regain the bond that we once shared
Think not for one minute that I will never care
But how tragic it is to think that this could come to an end
I wish and pray the grace upon you my old friend
Why can't you take this hand that I'll extend
It beckons you to become my friend again
Why can't you take this hand that I'll extend
It beckons you to become my friend again
Why can't you take this hand that I'll extend
It beckons you to become my friend again
Why can't you take this hand that I'll extend
'Cause it beckons you to become my friend again
