Lyrics:
Saw you last night at the supermarket, we crossed paths in the parking lot
Your hands were jammed so deep in your pockets, and your eyes were wandering off

Did I chase a smile off your face, or did you just have a bad day?
You didn’t reach out for my embrace, I hope that means that you’re okay

Separation’s never easy, and I was so naïve
I’m not sure if you’d believe that I regret the way I left

If I only stayed a friend, then I can hold your hand again
Wouldn’t be wondering how the story ends, if I’d only stayed a friend

Leaving you never meant that I didn’t care, but your needs outshone my love for you
I used to soothe you like medicine, but it felt like drug abuse

Separation’s never easy, and I was so naïve
I’m not sure if you’d believe that I regret the way I left

If I only stayed a friend, then I can hold your hand again
Wouldn’t be wondering how the story ends, if I’d only stayed a friend

And I don’t even know if you’re thinking about us, maybe everything is just fine
I feel like I deserve this guilt, even if it’s not on your mind

If I only stayed a friend, then I can hold your hand again
Wouldn’t be wondering how the story ends, if I’d only stayed a friend

Stay A Friend
