We can be friends

Just we two took a walk down a path

We called love

Just like one we were strong,

We thought nothing could go wrong

Hand in hand we were together

But in the end it went dark

You walked fast, much too fast

So I stood there forsaken

I looked anxiously into the distance

But there was nothing to see



And how can you say that we can be friends

When you look at me

And my face is so full of tears tonight,

Tonight



You were the sure, so self-assured

That I thought "I can't stand"

I tried it all, tried so much

You couldn't hear me at all

You were hard, much too hard

And you left me in the dark

I lost my home, lost my love

I thought I'd never get it back



And how can you say that we can be friends

When you look at me

And my face is so full of tears tonight,

Tonight



So much time to think about it

So much time that I live without you

Take a long for me to know

That I regret all the things I've done

I regret all the things I've said

Take a long time for me to know



You were sure, so self-assured

That I thought "I can't stand"

I tried it all, tried so much

But you couldn't hear me at all
