That's a newly sharpened blade
 That's a dagger to the heart
 Of the promises we made
 That's a chapter full of pain
 A season full of rain
 A dark and stormy night
 Spent all alone

 Friends
 Get scattered by the wind
 Tossed upon the waves
 Lost for years on end
 Friends
 Slowly drift apart
 They give away their hearts
 Maybe call you now and then
 But you wanna be
 Just friends

 You say you love me very much
 And you'll always hold me dear
 Those are the sweetest words
 I never want to hear
 What's a love without desire
 A flame without a fire
 Can't warm me late at night
 When I need you most

 Friends
 Get scattered by the wind
 Tossed upon the waves
 Lost for years on end
 Friends
 Slowly drift apart
 They give away their hearts
 Maybe call you
 Now and then
 But you wanna be
 Just friends

 Friends
 Slowly drift apart
 They give away their hearts
 Maybe call you
 Now and then

 Darling can't you see
 This is killing me
 We could never be
 Just friends
