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
