We started out as friends, who became besties

Then my bestie, became my lover girl

See what I found in you, I couldn't find with no other girl

I shared my life with you, I even shared my hopes and dreams

We had it all, shit was sweet, oh so it seemed

We had that type of love, it felt just like a soul tie

You said we'd be for life, but I found out you was feeding me lies the whole time

I was thinking I had you to myself, when secretly, you were seeing someone else

How long, how long has this been going on

How long, were you planning to string me along

How long, how long would you do me wrong

How long, tell me

How long, oh why

Now I find myself sitting on the sideline

Another brother's creeping in and stealing my time

I'm sending flowers, buying candy, trying to win you back

I'm so distraught because I never thought we'd end like that

I'm not too proud to tell you that I miss your kiss

I'm so confused because I never thought we'd end like this

I must admit, this situation made me sick

How long, how long before I'm over it

How long, how long before my broken heart mends

How long, how long before I fall in love again

Tell me, how did I lose my friend

Why, why, did we have to end
