Hard Being 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.
Why do you try to say goodbye
To someone that you still love?
I know you're feeling sad, and so confused that
Our love is not enough
You can love a flower, and
You can love the sea, and
You can love a sunset, in the way that you love me
I understand, as we drift apart, but
I stand defenseless as you take my heart
It's hard being friends, when the flame of
Love still burns
Oh it hurts when I think of you my baby
Oh it's hard being friends when the flame of
Love still burns, oh it hurts
The thought of you in another man's arms
Another man's arms
A thousand kinds of love in every way
I can't pretend that I would wait forever and a day
And let the sands of time erode away
You can love the summer, and
You can love a breeze, and
You can love the moonlight, in the way
That you loved me
I understand as we drift apart,
But the thought of losing you still breaks my heart
It's hard being friends, when the flame of
Love still burns
Oh it hurts when I think of you my baby
Oh it's hard being friends when the flame of
Love still burns, oh it hurts
The thought of you in another man's arms
Another man's arms
I gotcha etc.
You can love a flower, and
You can love the sea, and
You can love a sunset, in the way that you love me
I understand, as we drift apart, but
I stand defenseless as you take my heart
It's hard being friends, when the flame of
Love still burns
Oh it hurts when I think of you my baby
Oh it's hard being friends when the flame of
Love still burns, oh it hurts
The thought of you in another man's arms
Another man's arms
It's hard being friends etc
