i don´t want a lover
i just need a friend
i don´t want a lover
i just need a friend

you can´t just leave me
to face life on my own
i know you don´t love me no more
i knew this day it would come
even when it cuts so deep
it´s true i still want you
but the harder i try
the more i seem to lose

i don´t want a lover
i just need a friend
i´ve had time to recover
now that i know it wasn´t love

it´s always a different story
when it´s me who´s in the wrong
but you can´t have it all
cause i´m the one who´s strong
i´ve already been burnt before
once but never again
i know the time will come
that´s when you need me then

i don´t want a lover
i just need a friend
i´ve had time to recover
now that i know it wasn´t love

i don´t want a lover
i just need a prayer
i know you never cared
now that i know it wasn´t love

you don´t even care
about what i´m saying
you don´t even think
what you´re doing
all you see is what you want it to be
but in there there´s just no room for me

i don´t want a lover
i just need a friend
i´ve had time to recover
now that i know it wasn´t love

you don´t even care
about what i´m saying
you don´t even think
what you´re doing
all you see is what you want it to be
but in there there´s just no room for me

i don´t want a lover
i just need a prayer
i know you never cared
now that i know it wasn´t love

i don´t want a lover
i just need a prayer

i know you never cared
now that i know it wasn´t love
