Hive Open Mic Week 108 | Friend of Mine cover by @me2selah

Hello Music Lovers of Hive!

Here I am again for my entry for this week's theme "Undisclosed Words".
My thoughts brought me to the idea of undeclared love for someone. With
this in mind, I decided to sing this song entitled Friend of Mine by Odette Quesada.
This is a story of a girl who's been hiding her feelings for her friend whom she
had known for so long. She became the crying shoulder of this male friend
whenever he is heartbroken. And it makes her really sad every time. She's
been keeping to herself the love she had for her friend who seems, (to me)
insensitive to her feelings.

Then I thought, why not tell him how she feels? :D She is scared maybe when
he finds out she will loose his friendship. But again who knows? One will
never know the answer unless he or she ask for it.

Well, this is what the song is about. I hope you like my rendition.

Here is the lyrics:

FRIEND OF MINE
source

*I've known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all we'd ever be?
I've loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
And babe is this all we ever could be?

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again I'm glad

I've known you all my life
You are a friend of mine
I know this is how it's gonna be
I've loved you then and I love you still
You're a friend of mine
Now, I know friends are all we ever could be

You tell me things I've never known
I've shown you love you've never shown
But then again, when you cry
I'm always at your side
You tell me 'bout the love you've had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside you'll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad

But then again
Then again
Then again I'm glad*

Thank you for listening! Until next time!!

love,
Met
