just friends lyrics

I got a message from you last night on the phone
You said you're missing me and I should call you
And after all the things we've been through in the end
I can't believe that we can't do what friends do

And I'm here to tell you
I never broke my promise to you
No fear, no pressure
On you

But if we are just friends then how come I'm crying
You laugh while inside I'm dying
Pretend, for your sake I'm lying
Be strong, you know that I'm trying

To let you go free if that's what you need from me
Oh, we are, we are, we are, we are just friends

I still remember how you looked at me that way
Like I was everything you ever wanted
I didn't mean to let you down the way I did
Darkness descended and we just can't stop it

And you're here to remind me
Of the things I said I would do
Don't you worry, my dear, I'm right here
For you

But if we are just friends then how come I'm crying
You laugh while inside I'm dying
Pretend, for your sake I'm lying
Be strong, you know that I'm trying

To let you go free if that's what you need from me
Oh, we are, we are, we are, we are just friends

I'm trying to let you go free if that's what you need from me
To let you go free if that's what you need from me
Oh, we are, we are, we are, we are just friends
