Can't Be Friends
Trey Songz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She done cut me off from a good good love
She told me that those days where gone (gone, gone)
Now I'm sitting here goin' half crazy
'Cause I know she still thinks about me too
And it ain't no way in hell
That I can be just friends with you (you, you)
And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends
The way it felt no fakin' it
Maybe we were movin' just a little too fast
But what we've done we can't take it back (back, back)
Now I'm sitting here halfway crazy
'Cause I know she still thinks about me too
And it ain't no way in hell
That I can be just friends with you
And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends
And all I can say is
La la la la la la la (la)
La la la la la la la la la (la la la ooh)
La la la la la la la (hey)
Ain't no tellin' what we could have been
Ain't no tellin' what we could have been, no
And if I knew it ends like this
I never would have kissed you
Cause I fell in love with you
We never would have kicked it
Girl now every things different
I've lost my only lover and my friend
That's why I wish we never did it
Ooh yea
And I wish we never loved it (I wish we'd never loved it)
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends
(we can't be friends)
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
The lyrics of Trey Songz's "Can't Be Friends" are about a man who regrets falling in love with a woman and wants to end their romantic relationship. The woman has broken up with him, citing that their time together is over. This decision has left the man in a state of confusion and despair. He realizes that he cannot continue to be just friends with her because his emotions are too strong. He wishes that they had never become involved in the first place, that he had never fallen so deeply in love with her, and that they could return to a time when they were simply acquaintances.
The song draws attention to the complicated nature of love and the difficulty of going back to a platonic relationship after a romantic one has ended. It speaks to the idea that sometimes, love and friendship can cause confusion, blurry lines, and hard-to-ignore feelings that remain long after a break-up.

Look what this girl done did to me,
She done cut me off from a good, good love.
She told me that those days were gone (gone, gone, gone)
Now I'm sitting here going half crazy
'Cause I know she still thinks about me too,
And there ain't no way in hell, that I can be just friends with you (you, you, you)
And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you and now ain't no way we can be friends.
The way it felt, no faking it
Maybe we were moving just a little too fast.
But what we've done we can't take it back
Now I'm sitting here half way crazy
'Cause I know she still thinks about me too
And there ain't no way in hell, that I can be just friends with you you, you, you
And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you and now ain't no way we can be friends.
And all I can say is:
La la la la la la la la laaaaa
La la la la la la la la la, la la laowwww
La la la la la la laaaa, hey
Ain't no telling what we could have been,
Ain't telling what we could've been, oh
And if I knew it would end like this,
I never would have kissed ya, 'cause I fell in love with ya,
We never would've kicked it, girl now everything's different
I lost my only lover and my friend that's why I wished we never did it
(ouu lay)
And I wish we never loved it (I wish we never loved it!)
And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you and now ain't no way we can be friends.
