Can We Just Be Friends

James Charles James Charles

Haunted by these ghosts inside
Of my glass house
Pull me in, lead me on, let me down
And I wonder how
Was I dumb and naïve to believe
That you wanted me? Can you tell me please?
Did you know at the time it was lies
Comin' out your mouth when

You said I was beautiful
That your emotions were available, yeah, the
Long nights, long flights, you were feelin' it
Then you promised that I wasn't an experiment
You said you've never done this before
Same breath said you want this for sure
So I said: Can we go to bed? And
You said: Can we just be friends?

It was burnt on the phone, now it's real
And you're not so bold (hmm)
Pour a glass all alone, make a toast
To a love gone cold
They say insanity is to do something
About a million times and hope it comes out differently
I guess that I'm insane
Are you entertained? 'cause

You said I was beautiful
That your emotions were available, yeah, the
Long nights, long flights, you were feelin' it
Then you promised that I wasn't an experiment
You said you've never done this before
Same breath said you want this for sure
So I said: Can we go to bed? And
You said: Can we just be friends?

I know that I ain't perfect
But it's hurtin'
'Cause this ain't turnin' out the way it's supposed to be
Hardest pill that I've swallowed
Leaves me hollow
'Cause I think we see each other differently
But

You said I was your everything
That you were done with her and wanted me, yeah, your
Brown eyes, white lies had to ruin it
Thought you promised that I wasn't an experiment (oh)
Shoulda known, I've been through this before (oh)
You fuck around and then you go back to her
I try my best, but I can't pretend that
After this, we could ever be
Friends (no, I don't wanna be friends)
No, I don't wanna be friends (woah)
I said: I don't wanna be friends
