Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we go for walks through the city,
Study strangers from afar,
Laugh and dance and sing in the rain,
Without the romance?
Was it that important?
But you're too stoned to care,
And I'm too hurt to make you try.
That's why we can't be friends.

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we ride along the lakeside,
Swim along the shoreline,
Have a picnic on a tiny little island,
Without the love?
Was it that important?
But you're too important to care,
And I'm too hurt to make you try.
That's why we can't be friends.

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we talk about anything,
everything,
Staying up the whole night in boundless conversation,
Anxiously waiting for our turn to coexist,
Without the love?
Without the romance?
But you're too cute to stop,
And I'm too enthralled to make you try.
That's why we can't be just friends.
