You say you want to be friends

That's a newly sharpened blade

That's a dagger to the heart

Of the promises we made

That's a chapter full of pain

A season full of rain

A dark and stormy night

Spent all alone



Friends

Get scattered by the wind

Tossed upon the waves

Lost for years on end

Friends

Slowly drift apart

They give away their hearts

Maybe call you now and then

But you wanna be

Just friends



You say you love me very much

And you'll always hold me dear

Those are the sweetest words

I never want to hear

What's a love without desire

A flame without a fire

Can't warm me late at night

When I need you most



Friends

Get scattered by the wind

Tossed upon the waves

Lost for years on end

Friends

Slowly drift apart

They give away their hearts

Maybe call you

Now and then

But you wanna be

Just friends



Friends

Slowly drift apart

They give away their hearts

Maybe call you

Now and then



Darling can't you see

This is killing me

We could never be

Just friends
