I Don't Want to Be Your Friend

Did you see me last night

I was there in the dark

I saw her look at you, the way I used to

When I still had your heart.

I watched you take her hand

There was love in your eyes

I remember when you looked at me that way too

Before we said good-bye

I don't want to be your friend

I just want to be your lover

I don't think I can pretend

That you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye

Even when you know it's over

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your lover and when I think I've had enough

And I just can't stand the pain

I reminisce about the way it felt

To have you every day

You know that every time I hear your voice

I still get a thrill

And there's nothing I can do about it

Am I gone from your thoughts, forgotten somehow

When you be there with her

Does my memory stir, any part of you now

I know that I should concede, face the truth and all that

I know I should realize I'm not a part of your life anymore,

But I can't

I don't want to be your friend

I just want to be your lover

I don't think I can pretend

That you mean nothing to me

It's hard enough to say good-bye

Even when you know it's over

I don't want to be your friend

I want to be your lover
