"Just a friend" doesn't love the other as much as I love you
"Just a friend" doesn't cherish the other so much, it's an ache
"Just a friend" doesn't care about the other person so much, it's become pain
"Just a friend" won't die inside, because a friend doesn't cause heartbreak
How can we be friends, without my trust and respect?
This is just one more mistake in life I regret
How can we be friends if all I want to do is cry?
Why wouldn't you be honest? Why did you have to lie?
Why didn't you have the courage to face me with your fears?
Why did you have to cause me so much hurt and so many tears?
Why do I still love you, knowing that I've been betrayed?
Why must I feel as if I've been played?
"Just friends" have trust, they're able to be there
They actually have feelings, they really care
If you were my real "friend," you'd have the guts to confess
That we need to slow down, that your thoughts have become a mess
But not being a true "friend," you let me know in a cowardly way
If it's always "not me," then why do guys find it so easy to stray?
I can't seem to understand why you have to do this to me
Didn't I give you my all? Wasn't I the best I could be?
I spilled my inner-most secrets, I surrendered my soul
Why it all went wrong, I don't seem to know
How could feelings to right be so completely wrong?
You played me for a fool, you just strung me along
Keep hiding behind the wall that keeps us apart
Because I won't forget how you broke my heart
I'll always remember; forever, I will
It's hard to admit, but I love you still.
