More Than This

The day I reached for you
    you opened your arms
    and you caught me
The way that I felt
    scared you to death
    and you fought me
I don't understand
    You held out your hand
    This wasn't what I planned
please don't blame me
You looked at me, I saw you
Somehow, I just knew
You didn't agree
    I waited to see
    And found that I love you
    but you don't love me
Friends we've been, friends we'll always be
I'll care for you, you'll care about me
But the one thing you'll never do
Is love me the way I love you
