Early one morning while you were asleep
I received a letter but there was no addressee
So I paid it no mind, in fact, I wanted to send it back
But something that I was feeling said open itIt said, "Dear reader, once close friend of mine
I hope that this letter finds you in time
'Cause your love is ending and my life's just beginning
With a woman that I know you hold dear to you
And it made me want to sayI don't ever want to see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, babyI don't ever want to see you again
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend
That you were messing around with
I didn't want to notice it
I was true to my love for youIt took me a minute to wake up and see
What the love of my life was doing to me
I wanted to lay down and die
'Cause my pride wouldn't let me cry
Somehow I knew I had to get over itHe said he couldn't understand
Until he felt your touch
Now he can see why I love you so much
And that's so unfair
I never thought I'd have to share
Your love that I thought was given
To only me and that's whyI don't ever want to see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, babyI don't ever want to see you again
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend
That you were messing around with
I didn't want to notice it
I was true to my love for youAnd you say you love me?
Love must've been blind
'Cause I sure didn't see this one coming
My best friend, huh?
They say keep the one's you love close
And your enemy's even closer
But I can't win for losing, girl
'Cause the one I thought was a friend to me
Ended up being my true enemyListen to me, baby
I gave you everything
My love, and my ring
And you, oh what you laid at me
And I don't want to see you againI don't ever want to see you again
But I stuck by you till the end
And my conscience is clear
And I can move on from here
But I wish I could say the same for you, babyI don't ever want to see you again
But tell me why did it have to be my best friend
That you were messing around with
I didn't want to notice it
I was true to my love for you
