Again

This weight that I've been carrying
Many days on end
That the girl that I'm in love with
Has the heart of my best friend
Time and time we've struggled
He tried to tear us apart
Many things he's done
To try win back her heart
But we stood strong together
And many weeks flew past
Plotting my demise, always as he could
But our relationship was strong; built and meant to last
There was a time I feared
As her heart began to fade
Into the hold of his loving hands
Unknowing to his knowledge, he threw that all away
My love never ceased
It grew and grew and grew
Yet my sympathy for him
Almost persuaded me to go
Almost caused me to give up on you
Now that these times are over
His heart fell from her hold
He let our relationship grow stronger
And our hearts grew as bold
His heart fell for many
My sister was included
Our friendship grew real close
Nothing could intrude it
Many times over
His heart was raised and fell
I longed for his happiness
His happiness I did dwell
I did not know I was causing
So much of his pain
His heart was still clinging
But to what, I failed to gain
Always I wished him good luck
And my blessing he surely had
But his heart continued to break
His face stayed sorrow and sad
A secret he was hiding
One that will change everything
He finally revealed it to someone
Who told me the same thing
The weight I thought been lifted
The weight that had no end
Rests down upon my shoulders
And is crushing me again
