I've been trying to hold it in, trying not to say I still think of you the way I used to, babe Say I'm gonna hold it in, you don't feel the same But now I'm overthinking how you looked at me And I'm on the phone trying to call you But though I know you won't reply Cause now when it's three in the morning I'm not the one on your mind And there's no point in even talking I'll only make out I'm fine when I'm not That's why we can't be friends Every time you're near me Reminds me how we used to be And the feelings come back That's why we can't be friends Ain't good for my mindset To have you on my mind just yet I still want you like that That's why we can't be friends Know I said I'm cool with it Going separate ways But now you've moved on and I'm in the same place I guess I thought that you'd turn back Say it's a mistake, but you look happy That's why we can't be friends Every time you're near me Reminds me how we used to be And the feelings come back That's why we can't be friends It ain't good for my mindset To have you on my mind just yet I still want you like that That's why we can't be Okay, I ain't okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside awake And all my neighbors can hear my heart break That's why we can't be Okay, I ain't okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside awake Sorry, I can't take it That's why we can't be friends That's why we can't be Every time you're near me Reminds me how we used to be And the feelings come back That's why we can't be friends It ain't good for my mindset To have you on my mind just yet I still want you like that That's why we can't be Okay, I ain't okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside awake And all my neighbors can hear my heart break That's why we can't be Okay, I ain't okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside awake And all my neighbors can hear my heart break That's why we can't be friends
