INTRO: 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 ( 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 SOLO: 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.
