How could I live without you
The longing's far too strong to deny
But I would just break down and die
To see him getting hurt
Would weigh me down with grief

What if he knew
Would he pretend to be so blind
What could he do
Being the one who's left behind
But how can we choose between friendship and love

In dreams I first beheld you
Then found your name engraved on my heart

You're all that I desire
But betraying him tears me apart

Love defies all reason
We can't be holding on
To secrets we can't keep

He'll question my devotion
Consider it a breach of faith

Tormented by emotion
Held captive in these silken chains
How love can lead to treason
And right can lead to wrong
We watch in disbelief

What if he knew
Would he pretend just not to see
So much to lose
He can't afford to let it be
But how can he choose between friendship and love

We're part of eachother
Like sun and moon, like night and day
But sworn to another
A dream has come and gone astray
Who'll make this nightmare go away

What if he knew
Would he pretend just not to see
So much to loose
He can't afford to let it be
But how can we choose....
