we can't be friends

to just act like we never were

to come around and not show hurt

how dare we greet by shaking hands

just months ago i was your man

verbally we agreed

it was over and we were through

i'm trying to compose myself

but i just can't get over you girl

we can't be friends

we can't be friends

we can't be friends

'cause i'm still in love with you

i went by mother's

saw your car there

to her you're still family

and it don't seem fair

for everyone to just go on

and i've tried and i can't do it

'cause i'm still torn

i've tried to think of you

as just another love in my past

that didn't last

but it's not that simple baby

you may see me staring

or catch me in a daze

may see me hang my head

when you come my way

don't get too close to me

and expect me to behave

i might just steal a kiss

if you come near my face

what i'm trying to say
