Just Be Friends

A simple thought that came to mind just yesterday morning
Like shards of glass piercing my hand, but it's my heart aching
What is this?! I don't understand!
Why is all this blood falling from my hand?
I don't want to think it but is this what I had hoped for in the end?

I always knew the hardest choice would be to decide
Should I explain the pain or should I just keep it inside?
Don't wanna hurt you, but if I do,
I can honestly say that I never meant to
Now I just wonder when is it that I can I tell the truth?

I knew that we were fading out, I tried to find my way through
By feeding love to you, it's the only thing I thought to do
So I carved out smiles, but I was a liar
I pulled out the plug

So I screamed out, my heart calling your name, unable to find that this was all in vain
Nothing is here after all we've gone through so why do we strain?
Still tethered forever together by this old ball and chain

But in the end it all falls into rubble, piece by piece, away it will all crumble
"You know, that's just the way that life is," One simple mumble
Had somehow made those dirty tears all come sliding out down your cheeks

A simple thought yesterday night that made me realize
Like broken flowers it's useless to fix all of these lies
'Cuz our love would never bloom again
And so it was small but it was already dead
Our love had dropped just like the rose that's fallen from my hand

I remember when we met you had graced me with a smile
And so I asked if you would like to maybe stay awhile
Ever since that day all we've done
Is argue and try to cause each other harm
Did the other think that this was all done out of fun?

I knew that we just wouldn't last I had to push my way through
I won't change my mind but that won't get through to you
I know I still love you and I wanna be with you
But all this has got to end

And so inside of my mind it's raining defeat
My eyes blur and I feel my heart skip a beat
I can't keep my cool anymore, I let it all fall
Just like the tear drops that appear from the pain inside my core

The bond between us has broken, our love is doomed
Now all we can do is let time heal all of our wounds
This is good-bye, don't cry, my sweetheart
You must understand, this is over, the past is the past, and I'm never looking back

If I had one wish, if I had just one wish
I want to be born again to relive this
I want to be inside your memories
Again and again so maybe I could love you

So I screamed out, my heart calling your name, unable to find that this was all in vain
Nothing is here after all we've gone through so why do we strain?
Still tethered forever together by this old ball and chain

The bond between us has broken, our love is doomed
Now all we can do is let time heal all of our wounds
This is good-bye, don't cry, my sweetheart
You must understand, this is over, the past is the past, and I'm never looking back

I never meant to break your heart
