Just Friends

Just Friends by Kathryn Cloward

Why are you here  

There’s nothing left to say

It’s clear to me now

And there’s just no way 

Oh I wish I knew then

How much of a lie it was when

I asked you about her

And you said you were just friends

You said you were just friends

Swept away fell fast  

Cultivated hope enough to last       

In the space between

Truth and lies 

Valleys and peaks

Trust compromised

No sooner than it started

We came to end               

And all your I love you’s won’t change that

You’re not just friends

You’re not just friends

It’s always a crafty move

Dancing with deception and desire

Convincing yourself you could walk in fire

Yes I’ll be all right

Time always mends

And no I don’t want to be just friends

I don’t want to be just friends

Swept away fell fast  

Cultivated hope enough to last       

In the space between

Truth and lies 

Valleys and peaks

Trust compromised

No sooner than it started

We came to end               

And all your I love you’s won’t change that

You’re not just friends

You’re not just friends

Moon-rising kingdoms with rocky terrain

Scouts and ravens some things never change

In the space between

Truth and lies 

Valleys and peaks

Trust compromised

No sooner than it started

We came to end               

And all your I love you’s won’t change that

You’re not just friends

You’re not just friends

I don’t want to be just friends
