Just Friends
Rossana Casale 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 souls drifting apart
Two friends but one broken heart

We loved, we laughed and cried
And suddenly love died
The story ended and we're just friends

Just friends, lovers no

Just friends, not like before

Two friends, two hearts, two souls, drifting apart
And two friends but one broken heart

We loved, we laughed and cried
And suddenly love died
The story ended and we're just friends
The story ended and we're just

The story ended and we're just friends





We're just friends
