When Friends Become Lovers
Ivory Tower Project Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I’ve got something to say
I don’t know how to tell you
But I’ll say it anyway
That I was afraid of the way that I felt for you oh so long
Now I can’t hide these feelings inside anymore
We both had won and lost
We fought the sorrow in our lives
That forced to close the doors
But I’ll tell you now if you’re willing to give love just one more try
We’ll find a way to make our dreams stay alive

I’ve known you for a long time
We have been acquainted for a significant period
And I’ve got something to say
There is something important that I need to express
I don’t know how to tell you
I lack the knowledge of how to convey my thoughts
But I’ll say it anyway
Regardless, I will speak up
That I was afraid of the way that I felt for you oh so long
I experienced a fear regarding the intensity of my emotions towards you for an extended duration
Now I can’t hide these feelings inside anymore
Presently, it is no longer possible for me to conceal these emotions internally
We both had won and lost
We have both experienced victories and defeats
At this game of love before
During our previous encounters with romance
We fought the sorrow in our lives
Together, we battled the sadness in our existence
That forced to close the doors
Which compelled us to shut ourselves off
But I’ll tell you now if you’re willing to give love just one more try
However, I will inform you presently, on condition that you are open to attempting love again
We’ll find a way to make our dreams stay alive
We will discover a method to sustain our aspirations
