Friend

Went from strangers to "hello"

From goin' out to goin' home

To endin' up in what we didn't know we started

Went from sayin', "This won't work"

To you wrapped up in my shirt

And somehow now I have the keys to your apartment

I guess the best mistakes still can't be undone

I just hope that when you think of me

You don't think of me as one

I'm not askin' for a lover

I just want us not to end, yeah

If I can't have you

Then I want the closest thing

No, I'm not askin' to get back again

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend

I went from wakin' up with you

To lonely fillin' up the room

To knowin' you could never love me at my darkеst

I can get over your kiss

And the latе-night talks I miss

It's the distance that you made that hits the hardest

Oh, I guess the best mistakes still can't be undone

I just hope that when you think of me

You don't think of me as one

I'm not askin' for a lover

I just want us not to end

If I can't have you

Then I want the closest thing

No, I'm not askin' to get back again

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend, yeah

Oh, I'm just askin' for

A friend, a friend, a friend

Oh, I'm just askin' for

A friend, a friend

I'm not askin' for a lover

I just want us not to end, yeah

If I can't have you

Then I want the closest thing

No, I'm not askin' to get back again

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend

No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend
