Friend
Fox feat. sofffya 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 of "Friend" by Fox feat. sofffya are about a relationship that has come to an end, but the two people involved still want to maintain a friendship. The first line, "Just friends, lovers no more," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The two people were once lovers, but now they are just friends. However, this friendship is not the same as it was before. The second line, "Just friends, but not like before," implies that there is some tension in the friendship. It's not the same easy, carefree friendship they had before they started dating.
The chorus is particularly poignant. "To think of what we've been and not to kiss again / Seems like pretending it isn't the ending." This line suggests that even though they are trying to maintain a platonic friendship, there is still some underlying attraction there. It feels like they are pretending that the relationship didn't end, and that they can just go back to being friends without any complications.
The third verse is particularly sad. "We loved, we laughed, we cried, and suddenly love died." This highlights the fact that sometimes relationships end without any clear reason. The two people involved may have been happy together and then suddenly something changed. It's a reminder that sometimes love can be fleeting and unpredictable.
