Imma take, Imma take my shot
I don't want to wait, want to wait till
The moment is all gone
Been this way, been this way too long
And I know that you're feeling
Just tell me if I'm wrong
Oh can I get a witness
I know you're gonna miss this
In case it isn't obvious
I don't want to be friends
I don't want to be friends with you
Don't want to pretend
I don't want to pretend with you
Why you got to hold me then hold back
So cold cause you know that
I don't want to be friends
I don't want to be friends with you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
I'm in deep I'm in way too deep
And I feel you swimming I feel you
In it there with me
All of your heart, your mind, and your body
If I don't have everything I want nothing
Cause I won't watch you with
Somebody else
I don't want to be friends
I don't want to be friends with you
Don't want to pretend
I don't want to pretend with you
Why you got to hold me then hold back
So cold cause you know that
I don't want to pretend
I don't want to be friends with you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
No, I don't want to be your friend
Cause I won't ever be content
To just hold at the surface
I know that you're perfect for me, oh
And I don't want to be friends
I don't want to be friends with you
Don't want to pretend
I don't want to pretend with you
Why you got to hold me then hold back
So cold cause you know that
I don't want to pretend, no
'Cause I don't want to be friends with you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
Tell me if I need to forget you
If I need, if I need to forget you
I don't want to be friends with you
