Just Friends
Words & Music by Alan Avery
Verse I
I've got one eye on the future,
and the other on where I've been.
Ain't got no sense for the present,
Don't know where the hell I am.
So I could see a good thing coming,
and I knew when it was gone.
But I couldn't see what I had with you, girl,
Now it's gone so wrong.
Chorus I
But I'm not bitter, I passed that road sign long ago,
I'm not sad now 'cause there's a place where sad won't go,
And I'm not crying, I've gotta hide from who I fear,
I'm not feeling 'cause being is much more pure.
Much more pure.
Verse II
Well you tell me you're so happy,
I guess that should stop the rain.
But I smile a plastic grin now,
A simple mask to hold back the pain.
I still come across all the letters,
Reminders of what we once had.
Where you said you were gonna love me forever,
I guess I thought forever was longer than that.
Chorus II
But I'm not bitter, that's a class that I could teach,
I'm not sad now 'cause there's a place where sad won't reach.
I'm not crying gotta hide from who I fear,
I'm not feeling cause being is much more, much more pure well,
I'm not bitter, I passed that road sign long ago,
I'm not sad now cause there's a place where sad won't go.
I'm not crying I gotta hide from who I love,
I'm not feeling but the damage has been done.
Has been done.
