(Chorus)
Someone tell me why, why
Tell me all the reasons why I can't be with you
Because you were my friend
(Someone tell me) Why, why
Tell me all the reasons why I can't be with you
Because you were my friend

(Verse 1)
Wish I didn't break, yeah
I wish I learned to bend
I don't wanna type things out and never hit send
Don't start saying stupid shit you can't even defend
If you ain't my better half at least let me pretend
A couple hundred miles might as well be a planet away
I'd kill to call you but I don't even know what I'd say
I still mention you every time that I pray

(Pre-Chorus)
Every time I pray for ya
Every time I lay down, I pray for ya
I wonder

(Chorus)
Someone tell me why, why
Tell me all the reasons why I can't be with you
Because you were my friend
(Someone tell me) Why, why
Tell me all the reasons why I can't be with you
Because you were my friend (Someone tell me why)
