Back to a friend

Back To A Friend (133 BPM) [Verse 1] Four years of crossing a fragile line Saying it's casual, swearing we're fine Late night confessions and keys to the door We had a rhythm, and nothing more We never promised a forever vow But I never thought we would be where we are now. [Verse 2] Then the wind changed and I met someone new I fell in love like I always hoped I would do I saw the silence just freeze in your eyes The day that I told you, I saw through the disguise The jealousy flared in the space of a breath And startled our four-year routine half to death. [Pre-Chorus] Now you're pulling away, fading into the gray Leaving my texts unread day after day I know that the boundaries have shifted and bent But I still need the rock that I had in my friend. [Chorus] Tell me, how do we go back To the way we began? When the borders are drawn And I’m another girl’s man? You want me all to yourself But you can’t be tied down You’re a beautiful storm But you won't stay around Is there a space in the middle Where we don’t have to end? Can a lover who lost me Go back to a friend? [Verse 3] I miss the laughter, the unfiltered truth The way we survived all the ghosts of our youth I know you could never just settle for one You need the whole sky, you don't just want the sun It wouldn't work out, and we both know it's true So why is my happiness hurting you? [Bridge] You never wanted the ring, you never wanted the cage! You only wanted to read, never turn to the next page! But seeing me hold her is breaking your pride You want me to stay, but you won't come inside You want to be free, but you want me to wait How do we fix this before it's too late?! [Verse 4] So here we are standing on ashes and pride Two different lives on a quiet divide I’m holding my hand out to who we both were Can you love me as a friend, while I’m loving her? It's a heavy new world that we're trying to build With an empty space neither of us want unfilled. [Chorus] Tell me, how do we go back To the way we began? When the borders are drawn And I’m another girl’s man? You want me all to yourself But you can’t be tied down You’re a beautiful storm But you won't stay around Is there a space in the middle Where we don’t have to end? Can a lover who lost me Go back to a friend?
