[Verse 1]
We're in your bed, just skin on skin
Sayin' we'll never do that again
Don't know why you're getting all in your head
'Cause we decided we were just gon' be friends
[Chorus]
Just friends
Just friends
[Verse 2]
I don't want love, we just get hurt
Don't want to feel stuck, that'd just make it worse
Just want to be with you when you're on my mind
But I don't want love, that's a waste of my time
[Chorus]
We're just friends
Just friends
[Bridge]
I want you here
But I don't want the strings attached
'Cause I don't know how long we'll last
I want you here
I just like having you around
But I don't want to be held down
'Cause you and I
[Chorus]
We're just friends
We're just friends
[Verse 1]
We're in your bed, just skin on skin
Sayin' we'll never do that again
Don't know why you're getting all in your head
'Cause we decided we were just gon' be friends
[Outro]
We're just friends
We're just friends
Just friends
