Just Be Friends
Maria 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

McPartland's song "Just Friends" is a melancholic portrayal of two lovers who have decided to remain friends but are still struggling to accept the end of their romantic relationship. The first verse emphasizes the fact that they are now "just friends" and no longer lovers, which they were before. However, the next line highlights the fact that their friendship is no longer how it was before and that they have started to drift apart. While they try to hold on to their friendship, the pain of the breakup is still evident as they think of what could've been while refraining from kissing once again.


The second verse highlights the disparity between these two friends now that their relationship has ended. They both carry the memories of the love they shared together, but now, it's just one of them with a broken heart. It showcases that, at times, although both people might mutually agree to go separate ways and preserve their friendship, the end of a romantic relationship can hurt one person more than the other. The last line summarizes their relationship, which was filled with love, laughter, and tears, but ended suddenly when their love died.

Letra

You say you love me, I say you crazy
We're nothing more than friends
You're not my lover, more like a brother
I known you since we were like ten, yeah

Don't mess it up talking that shit
Only gonna push me away, that's it
When you say you love me, that make me crazy
Here we go again

Don't go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain't going away without a fight
You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I've told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear?
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
F-R-I-E-N-D-S

Have you got no shame? You looking insane
Turning up at my door (ah, ah)
It's two in the morning, the rain is pouring
Haven't we been here before? (Ah, ah)

Don't mess it up talking that shit
Only gonna push me away, that's it (ah, ah)
Have you got no shame? You looking insane
Here we go again

So don't go look at me with that look in your eye
You really ain't going away without a fight
You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I've told you one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

Haven't I made it obvious? (Haven't I made it?)
Haven't I made it clear? (Haven't I made it clear?)
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
Haven't I made it obvious?
Haven't I made it clear? (Haven't I?)
Want me to spell it out for you? (To spell it out for you?)
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
F-R-I-E-N-D-S

F-R-I-E-N-D-S
That's how you spell friends
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
Get that shit inside your head

No, no
Yeah, uh, ah
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
We're just friends

So don't go look at me (no) with that look in your eye
You really ain't going nowhere without a fight (a fight, nah, nah)
You can't be reasoned with, I'm done being polite
I've told you (yeah) one, two, three, four, five, six thousand times

Haven't I made it obvious? (Have I not made it obvious?)
Haven't I made it clear? (Yeah, I made it very clear)
Want me to spell it out for you? (Yo)
F-R-I-E-N-D-S (I said F-R-I-E-N-D-S)
Haven't I made it obvious? (I made it very obvious)
Haven't I made it clear? (I made it very clear)
Want me to spell it out for you?
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
F-R-I-E-N-D-S
