why can't we be friends

Verse 1

The wall is built of stone and pride

We’ve got so many things to hide

The words we throw like jagged glass

Just waiting for the storm to pass

We walk in shadows, side by side

But there's nowhere left for us to hide

Chorus

Why can’t we be friends?

Let the bitter silence end

Oh, why can’t we be friends?

Let the broken pieces mend

Can’t we find the light again?

Oh, why can’t we be friends?

Verse 2

Every memory is a ghost of yesterday

Before the colors faded into gray

We traded laughter for the fight

And lost our way within the night

If we could just reach out our hands

Maybe we’d finally understand

Chorus

Why can’t we be friends?

Let the bitter silence end

Oh, why can’t we be friends?

Let the broken pieces mend

Can’t we find the light again?

Oh, why can’t we be friends?

Bridge

Is it ego? Is it fear?

Keeping us from being clear

We don't have to agree on everything

To hear the song that we could sing

Chorus

Why can’t we be friends?

Let the bitter silence end

Oh, why can’t we be friends?

Let the broken pieces mend

Can’t we find the light again?

Oh, why can’t we be friends?

Outro

Yeah, why can’t we be friends?

Let it end, let it end

Just friends...

Why can't we?
