I've done my very best to wipe away your tears
I've done all I could to fight your hidden fears
Even the common things, like paying for your meals
Savoring your smile, eating up your eyes

An ordinary friend

Condemned to stay

This strange, weird desire wrapped me every day
'You're going to be mine' were the words I would say
But this sweet, blissful music, like stuck deep in my head
Won't stream for both of us, there's another boy instead

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay

Only then I realized, these things were too much
Do you know how it feels when there's no one to trust?
But you wished to have it all while playing double
Tracking every treat, chasing every surprise

An ordinary friend

LYRICS EDIT 4/25/15

I tried to add concrete imagery and details to the relations between the characters

I've done my very best to wipe away your tears
Tried my hardest to help you fight your inner fears
You were living on your own, a dance prize to claim
You hoped it wasn't late, it was all in your name

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay

A candlelit dinner, white roses bought nearby
'I love you' I would say when then we'll kiss goodbye
The voice I only heard, this echo in my head
I called your phone there was another boy instead

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay

You couldn't deliver words straight before my eyes
You wrote on a napkin: 'You're not like other guys'
'I wished to have it all', the little queenie cried
I faced the bitter truth, I fell for those sweet lies

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend

I've done my very best
To wipe away your tears
Tried my hardest to help you fight your inner fears
You were living on your own, a dance prize to claim
No techniques to be blamed, it was all in your name

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend

A candlelit dinner, white roses bought nearby
'I love you' I would say undoing my black tie
The voice I only heard
This echo in my head
From your answerphone, another date instead

An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
An ordinary friend
Condemned to stay

He reached your hot line
Now it's time to break the ice
You are a queen in need, I'm not your king indeed
'You wished to have it all', I started to cry
Facing the bitter truth, I fell for those sweet lies
