Why Can't We Be Friends?

(albüm: Love? Songs - 2021)

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?
I used to be so close to you
What's a buddy supposed to do now?
'Cause I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?

We used to thick as thieves
Hanging every night
Man, I miss those days
God, I miss those times

Then something changed
It got weird and we don't know why
We can't talk about
What we're thinking now

All I really wanna do is hang out
Voicemail told me you're busy now
Well I know what you said
But I don't understand it

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?
I used to be so close to you
What's a buddy supposed to do now?
Cause' I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?

I guess it makes sense
Cause' we probably got too close
I am sorry for
Not being more careful

But tell me the problem with finally feeling known?
I was free around you
I felt like me around you

Now every time we're in the same room
Our friends are around but I just see you
Well, it is what it is
But I wish it was different

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?
I used to be so close to you
What's a buddy supposed to do now?
Cause' I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be friends?

The only thing I got for you is love, love, love
And I guess that's why we can't

We can't
We can't

Why can't we be friends?
It was so much easier
Before we got our feelings hurt
And I can't pretend that it's easy
Why can't we be
Oh, why can't we be friends?
