Just Friends
Bennie Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just friends, but not like before
To think of what we've been and not to kiss again
Seems like pretending it isn't the ending
Two friends drifting apart
Two friends, but one broken heart
We loved, we laughed, we cried, and suddenly love died
The lyrics to Bennie Green's song Just Friends describe the aftermath of a failed romantic relationship. The two individuals involved have decided to end their love affair and attempt to transition back to being just friends. However, as the first line suggests, they are "lovers no more," and the relationship can never be the same, as indicated in the line "but not like before." The singer reflects on the bittersweet nature of the situation; though they both still have feelings for each other, they cannot act on them, because that would be "pretending it isn't the ending." The two friends are drifting apart, and the singer acknowledges that though they'll remain friends, there is "one broken heart" between them, indicating that one party holds onto their romantic feelings despite the failed relationship.
