I had a plan in motion
I had a primitive notion
I had something started
I had the whole thing charted
We looked so good on paper, I could die
Spent time together
Like birds of a feather
I became essential
So much potential
But you would see me in that light
I can never be more than just a friend
It's just impossible to pretend
If nothing started, then nothing ends
It's backfired once again
It's backfired once again
An ironic nothing
A beautiful plaything
You are nothing special
Just a fun possession
But oh, how much the tables turn
You discovered my weakness
With such uniqueness
I had human emotion
They killed me off
I wish I had invented someone else
I can never be more than just a friend
If nothing started, then nothing ends
My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend
Oh, it's backfired once again
I can never be more than just a friend
If nothing started, then nothing ends
My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend
Oh, it's backfired once again
It's backfired once again
It's backfired once again
I can never be more than just a friend
If nothing started, then nothing ends
My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend
Oh, it's backfired once again
I can never be more than just a friend
If nothing started, then nothing ends
My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend
Oh, it's backfired once again
