I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

I don't want a lover

I just need a friend You can't just leave me

To face life on my own

I know you don't love me no more

I knew this day it would come Even when it cuts so deep

It's true I still want you

But the harder I try

The more I seem to lose I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

I've had time to recover

Now that I know it wasn't love It's always a different story

When it's me who's in the wrong

But you can't have it all

'Cause I'm the one who's strong I've already been burnt before

Once but never again

I know the time will come

That's when you need me then I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

I've had time to recover

Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover

I just need a prayer

I know you never cared

Now that I know it wasn't love You don't even care about what I'm saying

You don't even think what you're doing

All you see is what you want it to be

But in there there's just no room for me I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

I've had time to recover

Now that I know it wasn't love You don't even care about what I'm saying

You don't even think what you're doing

All you see is what you want it to be

There's just no room left for me I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

I've had time to recover

Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover

I just need a prayer

I know you never cared

Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

I've had time to recover

Now that I know it wasn't love I don't want a lover

I just need a prayer
