Friends

I didn't hear a word you said
I haven't paid attention yet
I'm retracing the freckles on your face
So I can make a painting of you in my head

My coffee is going cold, I don't care
Too busy trying to drink in your stare
You say "Isn't it great how we can sit here as mates"
Well I think it's so goddamn unfair

I wish that I could hold my head up high
And I apologise if I seem distant
It just feels different

I thought I'd feel fine to see you in a whole different light
You sat right there, you've never felt further away (mm-mm)
I wonder does your family hate me
Even though you were the one to break me
Trust me I've tried to pretend
You'll just break my heart in the end
We can't be friends (mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)

My mother told me I should say (should say)
That I've been busy everyday (everyday)
Did yours tell you the same
Are we both faking days away
Did you even let her know

I wish that I could hold my head up high
And I apologise if I seem distant
Oh it just feels different

I thought I'd feel fine to see you in a whole different light
You sat right there, we've never felt further away (mm-mm)
I wonder does your family hate me
Even though you were the one to break me
Trust me I've tried to pretend
You'll just break my heart in the end
We can't be

I still think about you every time and not in a friendly way
I thought that I'd be fine to see you here today
But I still feel the same (same)
As I did when we first met
Even when you left
I thought that you were joking when you said
"Let's stay friends"

I thought I'd feel fine to see you in a whole different light (all things will feel the same)
You sat right there, you've never felt further away, away, away (you've never felt further away)
I wonder does your family hate me
Even though you were the one to break me (all things will feel the same)
Trust me I've tried to pretend (tried to)
You'll just break my heart in the end
We can't be friends
(Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)
We can't be friends
(Mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm)
We can't be friends
