I got a message from you last night on the phone   You said you're missing me and I should call you   And after all the things we've been through in the end   I can't believe that we can't do what friends do      And I'm here to tell you   I never broke my promise to you   No fear, no pressure   On you      But if we are just friends then how come I'm crying   You laugh while inside I'm dying   Pretend, for your sake I'm lying   Be strong, you know that I'm trying      To let you go free if that's what you need from me   Oh, we are, we are, we are, we are just friends      I still remember how you looked at me that way   Like I was everything you ever wanted   I didn't mean to let you down the way I did   Darkness descended and we just can't stop it      And you're here to remind me   Of the things I said I would do   Don't you worry, my dear, I'm right here   For you      But if we are just friends then how come I'm crying   You laugh while inside I'm dying   Pretend, for your sake I'm lying   Be strong, you know that I'm trying      To let you go free if that's what you need from me   Oh, we are, we are, we are, we are just friends      I'm trying to let you go free if that's what you need from me   To let you go free if that's what you need from me   Oh, we are, we are, we are, we are just friends
