Just Friends
Johnny Varro 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 Johnny Varro's song, Just Friends, are about the end of a romantic relationship between two people who have now become just friends. The first line, "Just friends, lovers no more," establishes that the two have decided to end their romantic relationship and are now just friends. The second line, "Just friends, but not like before," suggests that although they still care for each other, things are not the same as when they were in love.
The third and fourth lines, "To think of what we've been and not to kiss again, seems like pretending it isn't the ending," convey the emotional struggle of moving on from a romantic relationship. Although they are now "just friends," there is temptation to kiss each other again. However, they realize that doing so would be pretending that their romantic relationship didn't end.
The final two lines of the song, "Two friends drifting apart, two friends, but one broken heart, we loved, we laughed, we cried, and suddenly love died," encapsulate the heartbreak of the situation. Although they are now just friends, one of them is still hurting from the loss of their romantic relationship. The juxtaposition of "loved, laughed, cried" and "love died" is a poignant reminder of how quickly love can end.
