lyrics

…oh!
and why I was so excited to talk to you
and wanted to talk right away
was that I'm so excited to be your friend!!

Because when you're in love with someone it can go away
(like boyfriend/girlfriend)
but you don't just stop loving your friends.

And we just get along so great together that
I just can't bear the thought of us not being friends.

But the thing that makes this a little complicated is that
because I lost you as my boyfriend
I'm terrified now about losing you as a friend,
which is why I think I get so weird and upset when
I feel like you're being cold or indifferent
and then I fly off the handle
and say that I don't want to be friends
which I guess is just a defence because
I'm so scared of you hurting me so badly again.

And it's so confusing for me because I trust you
and love you
with all my heart
but that doesn't take away how much you hurt me.

And another reason is because I invested so much time
and energy
and so much of myself
into our relationship,
if we're not friends now I'll have nothing from our two years together.

And I'm terrified of you just walking away from our friendship
like you walked away from our relationship.

BUT

Then I realized - I can't be constantly worried about it
because that's when I go crazy,
and who the hell would want to be friends with me then?!

So I just have to trust,
and if this does happen
and you walk away from our friendship,
then I'll just have to deal with it then
rather than be worried about it all the time.

So now I'm really excited to be friends…
