we can’t be friends (wait for your love)

[Verse 1]

I didn't think you'd understand me

How could you ever even try?

I don't wanna tiptoe, but I don't wanna hide

But I don't wanna feed this monstrous fire

Just wanna let this story die

And I'll be alright

[Chorus]

We can't be friends

But I'd like to just pretend

You cling to your papers and pens

Wait until you like me again

[Post-Chorus]

Wait for your love

Lo-love, I'll wait for your love

[Verse 2]

Me and my truth, we sit in silence

Mm-mm

Baby girl, it's just me and you

'Cause I don't wanna argue, but I don't wanna bite

My tongue, yeah, I think I'd rather fly

You got me misunderstood

But at least I look this good

[Chorus]

We can't be friends

But I'd like to just pretend

You cling to your papers and pens

Wait until you like me again

[Post-Chorus]

Wait for your love

Lo-love, I'll wait for your love

I'll wait for your love

Lo-love, I'll wait for your love

[Bridge]

And know that you made me

I don't like how you paint me, yet I'm still here hanging

Not what you made me

It's somethin' like a daydream

But I feel so seen in the night

So for now, it's only me

And maybe that's all I need

[Chorus]

We can't be friends

But I'd like to just pretend

You cling to your papers and pens

Wait until you like me again

[Post-Chorus]

Wait for your love

Lo-love, I'll wait for your love

I'll wait for your love

Lo-love, I'll wait for your love

[Outro]

I'll wait for your love

I'll wait for your love

I'll wait for your love
