Friend

[Verse 1]

Went from strangers to hello

From goin' out to goin' home

To endin' up in what we didn't know we started

Went from sayin' this won't work

To you wrapped up in my shirt

And somehow now I have the keys to your apartment

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess the best mistakes

Still can't be undone

I just hope that when you think of me

You don't think of me as one

[Chorus]

I'm not askin' for a lover

I just want us not to end, yeah

If I can't have you

Then I want the closest thing

No, I'm not askin' to get back again

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend

[Post-Chorus]

Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh

Ah, ah-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 2]

I went from wakin' up with you

To lonely fillin' up the room

To knowin' you could never love me at my darkеst

I can get over your kiss

And the latе night talks I miss

It's the distance that you made that hits the hardest

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I guess the best mistakes

Still can't be undone

I just hope that when you think of me

You don't think of me as one

[Chorus]

I'm not askin' for a lover (Askin' for a lover)

I just want us not to end (Want us not to end)

If I can't have you

Then I want the closest thing

No, I'm not askin' to get back again

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend, yeah

[Bridge]

Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh (Oh, I'm just askin' for)

Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, oh-oh (A friend, a friend, a friend)

Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, oh-oh (Oh, I'm just askin')

Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, oh-oh (A friend, a friend, a friend)

[Chorus]

I'm not askin' for a lover

I just want us not to end, yeah

If I can't have you

Then I want the closest thing

No, I'm not askin' to get back again

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend
