[Verse 1] I've been tryna hold it in Trying not to say I still think of you the way I used to, babe Say I'm gonna hold it in You don't feel the same But now I'm overthinking how you looked at me And I'm on the phone tryna call you Although I know you won't reply 'Cause now when it's three in the morning I'm not the one on your mind And there's no point in even talking I'll only make out I'm fine when I'm not [Chorus] And, that's why we can't be friends, yeah Every time you're near me Reminds me of how it used to be And the feelings come back That's why we can't be friends Yеah, ain't good for my mindset To have you in my mind just yet I still want you likе that That's why we can't be friends [Verse 2] Know I said I'm cool with it Going separate ways But now you've moved on and I'm in the same place I guess I thought that you'd turn back Say it's a mistake But you look happier [Chorus] That's why we can't be friends, yeah Every time you're near me Reminds me of how it used to be And the feelings come back That's why we can't be friends Yeah, ain't good for my mindset To have you in my mind just yet I still want you like that That's why we can't be friends [Post-Chorus] Okay, I ain't okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside waking up My neighbors can hear my heart breaking (That's why we can't be, oh yeah) Okay, I ain't okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside waking Sorry, I can't take it (That's why we can't be friends, friends) [Chorus] That's why we can't be friends, yeah Every time you're near me Reminds me of how it used to be (Oh yeah) And the feelings come back That's why we can't be friends (Oh yeah) Yeah, ain't good for my mindset (Oh, oh) To have you in my mind just yet (Oh, oh, oh) I still want you like that That's why we can't be friends [Post-Chorus] Okay, I ain’t okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside waking up My neighbors can hear my heart breaking (That's why we can't be, hear my heart breaking) Okay, I ain’t okay, baby You're out there while I'm inside waking up My neighbors can hear my heart breaking That's why we can't be friends
