You say you want to be friends
That's a newly sharpened blade
That's a dagger to the heart
Of the promises we made
There's a chapter full of pain
A season full of rain
A dark and stormy night spent all alone
Ch: Friends get scattered by the wind
Tossed into the waves, lost for years on end
Friends slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts, maybe call you now and then
But you wanna be just friends
(A) E A
You say you love me very much
And you'll always hold me dear
Those are the sweetest words
I never wanna hear
What's a love without desire
A flame without a fire
Can't warm me late at night
When I need you most
CHORUS
Friends slowly drift apart
They give away their hearts, maybe call you now and then
Darling can' t you see
This is killing me
We can never be just friends.
