I don't know how to begin this song,
Explaining the details that went wrong.
In this relationship if that's what you can call it,
Words shoot straight to my heart like a bullet.
I'm not one to cry, but I just think,
Tears dropped from my eyes when I took a blink.
Nothing's ever easy the first time when you try to speak,
And you never get what you want despite how hard you seek.
Always had a fear this day would come,
So this is what has to be done...
I can't be your friend,
If this is the end.
I can't answer your calls,
No matter how personal.
You have to move onto your next,
Don't expect a reply to your text.
I tried so hard to exactly be,
All the things you wanted from me.
But I failed you, and now I must leave because everyone knows,
This is just how it goes.
You'll say you hate me and block this all out,
Up in your room you'll lock the door and pout.
Losing sleep, the memories keep you awake,
If it means anything, I was never playing fake.
I just needed to escape this base,
Never did I wanna run the makeup on your face.
I won't play the hero, and I'm not the villain,
We always knew something would happen...
I can't be your friend,
If this is the end.
I can't answer your calls,
No matter how personal.
You have to move onto your next,
Don't expect a reply to your text.
I tried so hard to exactly be,
All the things you wanted from me.
But I failed you, and now I must leave because everyone knows,
This is just how it goes.
Late at night when you try to phone,
Giving me a ring because you're scared to be alone.
You're praying I'll answer and you'll get to hear my voice,
But I'll let it ring because I made my choice.
To give up this thing that was nothing more than an issue,
And I apologize if my actions make you need a tissue.
We reached a point where this can't go on any longer,
Now pick yourself up, you gotta be stronger.
Because...
I can't be your friend,
If this is the end.
I can't answer your calls,
No matter how personal.
You have to move onto your next,
Don't expect a reply to your text.
I tried so hard to exactly be,
All the things you wanted from me.
But I failed you, and now I must leave because everyone knows,
This is just how it goes...
