How Can We Be Friends - No Angels

Every time you look at me

Baby I can hardly breathe

If I speak my voice would show

My broken heart can’t let you go

I know you want to comfort me

But I don’t need your sympathy

Don’t want part of you

If it’s not all of you

Right now I gotta be alone

You’re telling me I will be okay

You’re tryin' to help me ease the pain

But I can’t pretend, after everything

How can we be friends

You’re telling me baby not to cry

But you don’t know how I feel inside

It’s gotta be the end, can’t see you again

How can we be friends

I’ve been loving you so long

That it’s not easy to be strong

It’s so hard pushing you away

When all I want is for you to stay

I know you want to hold me close

But my emotions would overflow

You’re not helping me

Get over you and me

So turn around and walk away

You’re telling me I will be okay

You’re tryin' to help me ease the pain

But I can’t pretend, after everything

How can we be friends

You’re telling me baby not to cry

But you don’t know how I feel inside

It’s gotta be the end, can’t see you again

How can we be friends

You don’t have the right

To come around here any time that you like

You know it’s killin' me

You want me to be someone I’ll never be

Baby…
