Lyrics
It's the end of our journey What can I do? Lonely together When I'm alone with you Now that we've come so far It seems like the end We could be lovers We could never be friends I don't think we could ever I don't think we could ever be friends ... We can never talk Like others seem to do Lonely together Making love to you We don't get nothing From the letters we send We could be lovers We could never be friends I don't think we could ever I don't think we could ever be friends ... Plus a new relationship You know you break my heart What I feel for you's too strong It has been from the start Everytime I see your face It's tearing me apart What I need is love from you I'm burning up I don't think we could ever I don't think we could ever be friends ...
