You wanted me to be your friend
Before we ever fucked again
But friends don't break hearts
and tear friends apart
Second thoughts in cold beds
Fingers and panting haunting my head
I loved our loving
But not like you loved your freedom
Pictures of her trapped in my mind
Women like her you never could find
2a.m. calls with confessions of feeling
Leave me awake with a mind that is reeling
If I am wonderful, why am I alone?
Fate, while it's cruel, would never condone
this time full of growth and abandonment
I have no idea what your excuses meant
I believe I can never be your friend
The end is not the beginning, it's the end
I loved our loving, but not like you
Loved your freedom.
