Friend
B. Auto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just got a text on my phone, got to pick it up and check it
Already know who it is, it's this girl I've been texting
She said I think you're great but I just like our friendship
I just read that shit now I need a couple seconds
Cause I don't want to be friends
(Don't want to be friends)
If you ain't riding till the end
I don't ever want to
(Don't ever want to)
Go through it all again
Now I don't know what to send
(Don't know what to send)
I can't think of a reply
I don't want you as a friend
(Don't want you as a friend)
I just want you by my side
Feels like my life's falling out of order
Yeah I begged and I begged I implored her
I just can't handle all this torture
Must be a nightmare so much horror
This shit's way too much to believe
Thought I had the strength but now I feel so weak
Used to talk everyday now we don't even speak
I've been looking for you why you playing hide and seek
Now all of a sudden you just turn the other cheek
You got that perfect body perfect physique
But that don't even matter at all to me
Cause you got an even better personality
I thought you wanted me
Thought you wanted me
Girl why can't you see
Girl why can't you see
That I don't want to be friends
(Don't wanna be friends)
If you ain't riding till the end
I don't ever want to
(Don't ever want to)
Go through it all again
Now I don't know what to send
(Don't know what to send)
I can't think of a reply
I don't want you as a friend




(Don't want you as a friend)
I just want you by my side
