(Lyrics)
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends, and we're just friends
Just friends, lovers no more
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been
And not to kiss again
Seems like pretending
It isn't the ending
Two friends, drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried
Then suddenly love died
The story ends, and we're just friends
