Just Friends

Chorus

You say we're better off this way

Just friends, and nothing more to say

But every smile, every word, I pretend

I'm wishing you'd need me again

Verse 2

I play along, hold back my tears

Acting strong while you're still near

But every laugh cuts too deep

I want more than you can give

Pre-Chorus

Why can't we turn back time, when your hand was holding mine

It's hurting, but I can't let go

Of something only we would know

Chorus

You say we're better off this way

Just friends, and nothing more to say

But every smile, every word, I pretend

I'm wishing you'd need me again

Bridge

I hear your voice, memories play

Quiet nights, I hope you might stay

Holding onto what we lost

Wondering if love counts the cost

Chorus

You say we're better off this way

Just friends, and nothing more to say

But every smile, every word, I pretend

I'm wishing you'd need me again

Outro

Maybe someday you’ll see

How much you still mean to me

Until then, I’ll just pretend

Longing for more than a friend

Outro 2

Staring at pictures I can't erase

Haunted by moments I can't replace

If I could tell you how deep this goes

Would your heart open, would you know

Final Chorus

You say we're better off this way

Just friends, though my heart always stays

Hoping one day the lines will bend

And you'll come back to me again

Ending

So I wait, though it hurts inside

Hiding the love I can't confide

You were more than a passing phase

Still dreaming of our yesterdays
