Just 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.
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends but not like before
To think of what we've been
Not to love again seems like pretending
This isn't the ending
True friend, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
To think of what we've been
Not to love again seems like pretending
This can't be the ending
True friend, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends and we're just friends
