"Just wanna be friends" describes that tricky transition from lovers to friends. It happens in relationships all over the world! 

Got somethin' to say / don't get upset / this thing with us / ain't workin' / Don't wanna leave / too much is at stake/ but there's somethin' I gotta, gotta say / we gotta change how we relate / if we wait, it'll be too late / regret stands patiently at the gate   

[Chorus]
Just wanna be friends / it's less intense / this thing we got makes no sense / whatever it was / it's dead and gone / no point pretendin' / it's reached the end / diplomatically / in other words / the love we had / ain't comin' back / we gotta switch to a different track.

Don't take it hard / I think you're great / as a friend, not as a mate / from now on, I'll sleep alone / find someone else / to meet your needs / I won't mind, no divorce / but lovin' you's become a chore / we have memories / we'll keep those / but the past is gone, heaven knows
