Just Friends
John Pisano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just friends, lovers no more
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




Overall Meaning

The lyrics of John Pisano's song "Just Friends" describe a former lovers' relationship that has now evolved into just friendship. The first line of the song - "Just friends, lovers no more" - sets the tone for the rest of the track. The two people involved were once in love, but now they have lost that spark and are just friends. The second line - "Just friends, but not like before" - acknowledges that the friendship has changed and will never be the same as it was when they were in love.


The chorus highlights the bittersweet nature of the end of their romantic relationship. The line "To think of what we've been and not to kiss again" suggests that the two people involved are still physically attracted to each other, but they know they can't act on their desire because it would be misleading and just prolong the inevitable end of their romantic relationship. The following line - "Seems like pretending it isn't the ending" - suggests that both parties are in denial of the true nature of their relationship.


The final verse further drives home the sadness and disappointment of the situation. "Two friends drifting apart" suggests that, even though they are still technically friends, they are not as close as they once were. Additionally, "Two friends, but one broken heart" indicates that one of the two still holds feelings for the other, while the other has seemingly moved on. The final line - "We loved, we laughed, we cried, and suddenly love died" - encapsulates the overall theme of the song: that love can be fleeting and sometimes just fades away.
