We can't be friends, you can't drop by,
If I run into your brother, can't tell him to tell you 'hi'.
You can't call, I can't pick up

We can't meet for margaritas, I can't wear that dress you love.

Cause you'll look at me, like I want you to

Then we'll brush hands like we accidentally always do
We'll stay too late, we'll laugh too hard, hug too long
And that ain't too far from waking up right where we've always been.


We can't be friends, we both know that
You can't tell me you don't love her and I've got no right to ask.

So I'll pretend like I don't care
I won't send a birthday card and if you see me at somewhere


Don't look at me, like I want you to
Cause we'll brush hands like we accidentally always do
We'll stay too late, we'll laugh too hard, hug too long

And that ain't too far from waking up right where we've always been.

We can't be friends...


We can't be friends, it's just too tough
It's not that I don't love you, it's that I love you way too much

And we'll just end in pain again
We can't be friends...
