We can't be friends, you can't drop by
If I run into your brother, can't tell him to tell you 'hi'
You can't call, I can't pick up
We can't meet for margaritas, I can't wear that dress you love

'Cause you'll look at me like I want you to
Then we'll brush hands like we accidentally always do
We'll stay too late, we'll laugh too hard, hug too long
And that ain't too far from waking up right where we've always been

We can't be friends, we both know that
You can't tell me you don't love her and I've got no right to ask
So I'll pretend like I don't care
I won't send a birthday card and if you see me out somewhere

Don't look at me like I want you to
'Cause we'll brush hands like we accidentally always do
We'll stay too late, we'll laugh too hard, hug too long
And that ain't too far from waking up right where we've always been

We can't be friends

We can't be friends, it's just too tough
It's not that I don't love you, it's that I love you way too much
And we'll just end up here again
We can't be friends
