Like A Friend
Blue · One Love
I never had anybody treat me quite like you do,
I love your honesty
We met, we clicked, we shared a vibe that was true,
And it was plain to see, it was plain to see,
I did not want to face the truth,
You said you had a man
And you were so in love with him and nobody else
Chorus
What do you do when someone don't love you,
They show you all their feelings like you're a friend,
Like you're a friend
What do you say when, things don't go your way and,
you're frozen in a picture like you're a friend,
like you're a friend.
A friend
I don't want to be your friend, no way.
Well I was trapped I was dependant on you
And there was no escape, so,
I was a fool to think that I was the one
I let you criticize everything I done, no no.
I did not want to face the truth,
You said you had a man,
And you were so in love with him and nobody else.
Chorus
Well I know I can't have you,
And I can't live without you.
But I guess I can't have it my way.
For the love you're not feeling, my heart is still breathing,
Girl how can you treat me this way?
Chorus
A friend,
No more friends.
I love your honesty
We met, we clicked, we shared a vibe that was true,
And it was plain to see, it was plain to see,
I did not want to face the truth,
You said you had a man
And you were so in love with him and nobody else
Chorus
What do you do when someone don't love you,
They show you all their feelings like you're a friend,
Like you're a friend
What do you say when, things don't go your way and,
you're frozen in a picture like you're a friend,
like you're a friend.
A friend
I don't want to be your friend, no way.
Well I was trapped I was dependant on you
And there was no escape, so,
I was a fool to think that I was the one
I let you criticize everything I done, no no.
I did not want to face the truth,
You said you had a man,
And you were so in love with him and nobody else.
Chorus
Well I know I can't have you,
And I can't live without you.
But I guess I can't have it my way.
For the love you're not feeling, my heart is still breathing,
Girl how can you treat me this way?
Chorus
A friend,
No more friends.
