Greg "Grey" Perkins - Take the Fall Lyrics

I know we say we're just close friends
I know we trade close secrets and yet I ask you to take my hand
And care for someone who has loved you all along
Heartfelt I've always heard you speak of the others
Heard you say I'm only a brother and yet I can't break the ice
Clenched teeth and tears on my cheek when we say goodbye

I still can see us standing there laughing
I see the school, feel our rare attraction for what we used to do and say
Scoffing at those who said our dreams would never pay

I know we say we're just close friends
I know we trade close secrets and yet I ask you to take my heart
And care for someone who has loved you all along

How is it that they always seem to hurt you
Always seem to hurt you most of all
How is it that they always desert you
Always let you take the fall

In between our fears and tears how we just couldn't see what was meant to last
And so I ask you to take my arm
Take my love and forget your past

In between the years and years now waiting for something must I ask
Ask you to come friend take my hand, come be my love, be my love at last

My dreams are filled with two silhouettes who stream across a misty dance floor twirling
And the dreams we had in youth aren't gone
Only the people who laughed at us for doing so well together
Friends in love while the others just don't know we're in love
