you say there is no other
who treats you like i do.
but i talked to your father and mother,
and they both say its through.

now youve headed back tot he east coast
in a brand new car.
all my letters returned unopened
just to see how you are;

as you say
why cant we be
why cant we be
we be friends (X2)

you say the world isnt over
its just a different place
though youre no longer around me
you send pain by the case
and i guess this thing wasnt working
so ending it was best
but i just cant seem to menouver
this weight off my chest

as you say...

cuz im not ready

you say there is no other
who treats you like i do
but i found myself with another
and youve found someone else too
the pain is now in recession
and lucid are my thoughts
then you whisper for me to come closer
and it seems like you forgot
that you said

why cant we...

why must this be the end?
why cant we be
why cant we be
why cant we be friends
why wont you be my friend
cuz im not ready
im not ready
im not ready
im not ready
