Best Friend
Luke Wade Lyrics

I lost my best friend again
I ended up losing my best friend once again due to our inability to control our feelings.

I made her my lover
I turned my best friend into my lover and this change in our relationship caused problems.

Why are we such idiots
We made a mistake by getting attracted to each other and turning from friends to lovers, without considering the consequences.

When we get under covers
Once we started being physical, our friendship and rational thinking took a backseat and we couldn't control our impulses.

So, we drank too much
We consumed huge amounts of alcohol to numb our inhibitions and the guilt of our actions.

And our bodies started to ache
We began to feel the repercussions of our choices and the physical toll it took on our bodies.

And that's all its takes to make the biggest mistake
Our recklessness and lack of self-control led us to make a huge mistake that could have been avoided if we had been more sensible.

So here we are
We are now in the present situation after our mistakes, with the aftermath of our choices.

With so much to lose
Our friendship, our mutual respect, and our trust are at risk because of the new direction our relationship took.

But I can't make up my mind
I'm indecisive and conflicted about what I want and what the right thing to do is in this situation.

I'm so confused
I'm uncertain about the future of our relationship, and I'm feeling lost and overwhelmed by the choices ahead of us.

It's our time to shine
We have an opportunity to make things right and move forward with our lives and our friendship, but it's a challenging path.

But I can't be the me you see inside of your mind
Our relationship has changed too much, and it's difficult to reconcile our current feelings with the image we had of each other as friends.

Why is it never enough
Despite our efforts, it seems like the love we share as lovers is never enough to compete with the platonic love we had as friends.

Just to love her like a brother
I wish I could go back to the simpler days where our love was purely platonic and fraternal, like the bond between siblings.

And now she locked the doors
Our friendship is under threat, and my lover-turned-friend has shut me out of her life to avoid further complications.

She closed all the shutters
She has closed off her heart and her life to me, and the only way to win her trust back is by showing her my commitment to our friendship.

I can tell she never comes out
I can sense her seclusion and the pain she's going through as she's unable to reconcile our new relationship with the old one.

By the leaves in her gutter
The overgrown leaves in her gutter signify her neglect of home maintenance, and this demonstrates her mental state too - how she's let herself go.

I'd love to talk to you
I miss our conversations and our connection, and I'm open to making amends if she's willing to do the same.

I'd love to come over
I want to reach out and help her, to provide emotional support and reaffirmation that our friendship is still important to me.

But talk is never enough
While words are important, we need to act and show each other how much we value our friendship, instead of just talking about it.

I always have to show her
Actions speak louder than words, and I need to demonstrate my dedication to our friendship before she can trust me again.

We're damned if we don't
Whether we try or not, we're in a difficult situation, and making the wrong choice could lead to irreparable damage.

We're damned if we do
If we try to mend our friendship, there's a chance that we may still fail or that our efforts could backfire.

But I can't be yours and you can't be mine
Our feelings for each other are complicated, and we need to find a solution that doesn't harm our friendship or create even more confusion and heartbreak.
