Why Can't We Be Friends?

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?
I used to be so close to you
What's somebody supposed to do now?
'Cause I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?

We used to be thick as thieves, hangin' every night
Man, I miss those days
God, I miss those times
Then somethin' changed, it got weird and we don't know why
We can't talk about what we're thinkin' now

All I really wanna do is hang out
Voicemail told me you're busy now
Well, I know what you said, but I don't understand it

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?
I used to be so close to you
What's somebody supposed to do now?
'Cause I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?

I guess it makes sense 'cause we probably got too close
I am sorry for not bein' more careful
But tell me the problem with finally feelin' known
I was free around you
I felt like me around you

Now every time we're in the same room
Our friends are around, but I just see you
Well, it is what it is, but I wish it was different

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?
I used to be so close to you
Now, what's somebody supposed to do now?
'Cause I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?

The only thing I got for you is love, love, love
And I guess that's why we can't
We can't
We can't

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier (why can't we?)
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be
Oh, why can't we be friends?
