Lyrics

I Don't Think We Could Ever Be Friends

[Verse 1]

It's the end of our journey

What can I do?

Lonely together

When I'm alone with you

Now that we've come so far

It seems like the end

We could be lovers

We could never be friends

[Chorus]

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

[Verse 2]

We can never talk

Like others seem to do

Lonely together

Making love to you

We don't get nothing

From the letters we send

We could be lovers

We could never be friends

[Chorus]

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

[Bridge]

Plus a new relationship

You know you break my heart

What I feel for you is too strong

It has been from the start

Every time I see your face

It's tearing me apart

What is need is love from you

Oh, but I can't?

[Chorus]

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

I don't think we could ever

I don't think we could ever be friends

Ah, ha
