Would've thought you wrote down every word Goodbye spelled out like it had been rehearsed There ain't no point in trying to change your mind Seems like You've got it all figured out You're alright With the way this is going down Don't tell me we can still be friends Hanging on the weekend You're gonna be okay if I start seeing somebody new You hope that I do It won't be long Till I forget to call every time that I'm drinking And you ain't the love song I can't keep from singing I gotta be honest You really believe that's the truth You never loved me like I loved you By the way you're talking you would think You never had any real feelings for me And if you think I can look across the bar And see you In someone else's arms And I need you Oh who do you think you are Trying to tell me we can still be friends Hanging on the weekend You're gonna be okay if I start seeing somebody new You hope that I do It won't be long Till I forget to call every time that I'm drinking And you ain't the love song I can't keep from singing I gotta be honest You really believe that's the truth You never loved me like I loved you You always told me You'd never leave me You said I was your one and only So what makes you think I wanna hear you say We can still be friends No I don't wanna be friends Stop telling me, stop telling me, woah That we can still be friends Hanging on the weekend You're gonna be okay if I start seeing somebody new You hope that I do It won't be long Till I forget to call every time that I'm drinking And you ain't the love song I can't keep from singing I gotta be honest You really believe that's the truth You never loved me like I loved you You never loved me like I loved you You never loved me like I loved you
