Just be Friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
It's time to say good bye
Just be friends
All we gotta do is just be friends
Just be friends
Just be friends

I thought about it in the early morning yesterday
The broken pieces of my heart were standing in my way
I didn't really seem to know what it was
All the shards cut me up
I wonder deep inside if this was really what we want

Even though I knew from the darkest depths inside my heart
The best decision we could make would be the hardest part
Denying all the love that I know is there
The contradiction, regret and despair
There was no time to tell you, I don't think there ever was

I struggle now, I tell myself that it's the only way through
The world that we lived in, there's nothing that I can do
Every smile that you gave to me
Our memories fade away
You could say I pulled the plug

At first I screamed so much that I lost my voice
And yet the sound just echos on and on, but it's all in vain
There's nothing left, everything that we once had
I guess it's all gone
There's only static on your line and I am left all alone
I know that things do happen and changes us
We fall apart, and drift away, the pieces don't fit the same
I tell myself that no matter what we do, life is just like that
Until the tears are falling dry
I just think, "Life is just like that"

All we gotta do just be friends
It's time to say goodbye
Just be friends
All we gotta do just be friends
Just be friends
Just be friends...

During the night before I lay in bed, I'm wide awake
Thinking about the memories that I leave and what I take
Until the saddest thought had dawned on to me
It made me so upset that I had to see
That it would do me better to just leave it all behind

There was no reason to keep flowers that would never bloom
Just like our passion, they are dead and dying all too soon
All of the fighting and the pain we would cause
No reason for the emotional loss
We filled our minds with thorns till we couldn't bear anymore

We both grew bored and unaware, looking to other places
And though it's hard to do, I just have to face it
That I know I can't change my mind, and I still want to be with you
And somehow, just let you know

There is a dark cloud that's storming over me
It's killing me, I'm stunned and I can't really see clear right now
Despite the bravery that I show you, it's not really there
The pain is overwhelming all my nerves to know you don't care
I know that things do happen and changes us
We fall apart, and drift away, the pieces don't fit the same
It's over now, and I'll try to good bye to what I can't have
You are no longer my sweetheart and I'll just have to live with that

Maybe just one day, maybe just one day
If I could have that one single wish come true
I'd be born again, and again, and again
Just to relive the days when I could be with you

At first I screamed so much that I lost my voice
And yet the sound just echos on and on, but it's all in vain
There's nothing left, everything that we once had
I guess it's all gone
There's only static on your line and I am left all alone
I know that things do happen and changes us
We fall apart, and drift away, the pieces don't fit the same
It's over now, and I'll try to good bye to what I can't have
You are no longer my sweetheart and I'll just have to live with that

Why does it have to be good bye?
