[Verse 1]
I can't forget my past
'Cause nothing gold can stay, and nothing good can last
Well don't say, "Let's just be friends", it doesn't work that way
We both know how that ends

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
But this old wooden rib cage won't withstand the flames
My heart will catch fire, my lungs will burn away
But you won't ever know
What I won't ever tell

[Instrumental Pause]

[Bridge]
You always said
That I came first

[Chorus]
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't say, "Let's just be friends"
Don't you ever say
[Outro]
Best friends
Best friends
Forever
Best friends
