To just act like we never were

To come around and not show hurt

How dare we greet by shaking hands

Just months ago I was your man

Verbally we agreed

It was over and we were through

I'm trying to compose myself

But I just can't get over you girl

[Chorus:]

We can't be friends

We can't be friends

We can't be friends

'Cause I'm still in love with you

I went by Mother's, saw your car there

To her you're still family, and it don't seem fair

For everyone to just go on

And I've tried and I can't do it

'Cause I'm still torn

I've tried to think of you

As just another love in my past

That didn't last

But it's not that simple baby

[Chorus]

You may see me staring

Or catch me in a daze

May see me hang my head

When you come my way

Don't get too close to me

And expect me to behave

I might just steal a kiss

If you come near my face

What I'm trying to say

[Chorus]
