Love You Too Much To Be Your Friend

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment

You said you aren’t home much anymore

I stopped dropping by without an appointment

Cause I’d hear laughter coming through your door.

Sometimes late at night you’ll still call me

Just before you close your eyes to sleep

You make me vow to try and stop by sometime

Baby that’s a promise I can’t keep.

I love you too much to ever start liking you

So lets just let the story kinda end

I love you too much to ever start liking you

So don’t expect me to be your friend.

I don’t walk down through the village or other places

That we used to go to all the time

I’m trying to erase you from my memory

Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind.

You always act so happy when I see you

You smile that way you take my hand and then

Introduce me to your latest lover

That’s when I feel the walls start crashing in.
