I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I don't want a lover

I just need a friend

You can't just leave me

To face life on my own
I know you don't love me no more
I knew this day it would come

Even when it cuts so deep
It's true I still want you
But the harder I try

The more I seem to lose

I don't want a lover

I just need a friend
I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love


It's always a different story
When it's me who's in the wrong

But you can't have it all
Cause I'm the one who's strong
I've already been burnt before

Once but never again
I know the time will come
That's when you need me then


I don't want a lover
I just need a friend

I've had time to recover
Now that I know it wasn't love


I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared

Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care

About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing

All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me


I don't want a lover
I just need a friend
I've had time to recover

Now that I know it wasn't love

You don't even care

About what I'm saying
You don't even think
What you're doing

All you see is what you want it to be
But in there there's just no room for me


I don't want a lover
I just need a prayer
I know you never cared

Now that I know it wasn't love

I don't want a lover

I just need a prayer

I know you never cared

Now that I know it wasn't love
