Lyrics
HOW CAN WE BE FRIENDS
WHEN EVERYTIME I SEE YOU MY HEART JUST BREAKS AGAIN
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT I DO
THERE'S JUST NO WAY I'M GETTING OVER YOU
HOW CAN I GO ON
KNOWING ALL THE PLANS AND DREAMS WE HAD ARE GONE
AND THE PROMISES YOU MADE
WERE NOTHING MORE THAN SOMETHING THAT YOU SAID
BUT IT SEEMED SO RIGHT
TO BELIEVE IT COULD
REALLY LAST FOREVER
JUST THE WAY YOU SAID IT WOULD
BUT YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND
AND DIDN'T LET IT SHOW
UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE FOR ME TO KNOW
I'VE GOT TO LET THIS GO
AND TAKE A CHANCE ON WHAT THE FUTURE HAS TO HOLD
MAYBE THERE'S A BETTER TIME
BUT RIGHT NOW I CAN'TY GET YOU OFF MY MIND
BUT IT SEEMED SO RIGHT TO BELEIVE IT COULD
REALLY LAST FOREVER JUST THE WAY YOU SAID IT WOULD
AND IT HURT SO MUCH WHEN YOU LET IT END
AND NOW YOU SAY YOU WANT US TO BE FRIENDS
BUT HOW CAN WE BE FRIENDS?
