We're just friends, were just friends;
We were never meant to be.
I can't say no, and you know;
Yet you did this all to me.

The night is still; the night is chill,
And I refuse to take the floor.
I could have stopped you, just kissed you,
And walked out the door.

You build me up with all your empty words
Just to tear me down.
Only reason I hang on is the thought
Of not having you around.

You're insecure and immature,
Barely make it through the day,
But I'm the friend at the end
Who helps keep your demons at bay.

You learned again your choices rend
And wound you to the core,
As you were shook when you mistook
Friend love for something more.

You build me up with all your empty words
Just to tear me down.
Only reason I hang on is the thought
Of not having you around.

I should have let you be as guilty
As you seem to think you are
To let you see that now I'm free
A future here is always barred.

Tonight, you're not here to hold me near,
And it almost makes me glad,
Though I keep in mind you'll never find
What we could have had.

You build me up with all your empty words
Just to tear me down.
Only reason I hang on is the thought
Of not having you around.

Only girls on pedestals cause your enthrall;
You want love to transcend.
Though you explore, I can settle for
Being the love of a friend.

You build me up with all your empty words
Just to tear me down.
Only reason I hang on is the thought
Of not having you around.
