Lyrics
Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We’re not, no, we’re not friends
Nor have we ever been
We just try to keep those secrets in a lie
But if they find out, will it all go wrong?
And heaven knows, no one wants it to
So I could take the back road
But your eyes will lead me straight back home
And if you know me like I know you
You should love me, you should know
Friends just sleep in another bed
And friends don’t treat me like you do
Well, I know that there’s a limit to everything
But my friends won’t love me like you
No, my friends won’t love me like you
We’re not friends
We could be anything
If we tried to keep those secrets safe
No one will find out
If it all went wrong
They’ll never know
What we’ve been through
So I could take the back road
But your eyes will lead me straight back home
And if you know me, like I know you
You should love me, you should know
Friends just sleep in another bed
And friends don’t treat me like you do
I know that there’s a limit to everything
But my friends won’t love me like you
No, my friends won’t love me like you
But then again
If we’re not friends
Someone else might love you too
And then again
If we’re not friends
There'll be nothing I could do
And that’s why friends should sleep in another bed
And friends shouldn't kiss me like you do
And I know that there’s a limit to everything
But my friends won’t love me like you
No, my friends won’t love me like you do
Oh, my friends will never love me like you
