You called me on the phone late last night
The rain was pouring down as you cried
You said he hurt you bad
And that he broke your heart like all the others did
And so you though
You just needed to talk to a friend

'Cos only a friend can mend a heart that's torn and broke in two
And only a friend can keep your trust and love you just for you
Only a fool can overlook the way that I look at you
But it doesn't really matter after all
'Cos I'm only a friend to you

I told you life’s like that and it's okay
I know he didn't love you that much anyway
And I say, “Just look around
Who knows somewhere, somehow
Someone's waiting to be found
So just let him go, then you will know
The one who's loved you most
Is now the one who's loving you back

'Cos only a friend can mend a heart that's torn and broke in two
And only a friend can keep your trust and love you just for you
Only a fool can overlook the way that I look at you
But it doesn't really matter after all
'Cos I'm only a friend to you

Will it matter if I told you
Just how much I long to
Be more to you

'Cos only a friend can mend a heart that's torn and broke in two
Only a friend can keep your trust and love for just being you
But only a fool can overlook the way I look at you
But it doesn't really matter after all
It doesn't really matter after all
It doesn't really matter after all
'Cos I'm only a friend 
That's all that I am
I'm only a friend to you
