Lyrics
: Just A Friend EP (2006) — I see your face and I can't erase what's already there. You're just a friend I say again even though I care. It's not that I'm afraid to fail, What holds me back is just the fact I know you too well. Two sides to one pretty coin, Wish I could wish one away. Lose the front, I'll be your safety net, And I would catch you, babe. Can't be perfect, but I can try. I see your face and I can't erase what's already there. You're just a friend I say again even though I care. It's not that I'm afraid to fail, What holds me back is just the fact I know you too well. Even when I tried to shut my eyes, Your figure still shone through. I'd rather stay living in this lie, Than lose what I have of you. I see your face and I can't erase what's already there. You're just a friend I say again even though I care. It's not that I'm afraid to fail, What holds me back is just the fact I know you too well. When even February last forever, It seems there's nothing left for me to find. Cross all them bridges left for me to sever, Your still runnin' runnin' runnin' through my mind. I see your face and I can't erase what's already there. You're just a friend I say again even though I care. It's not that I'm afraid to fail, What holds me back is just the fact I know you too well. : Goodbye/Hello LP (2010) — Sitting in my room laughing away the world, Your perfect smile so in sync with mine. But when we brush hands we quickly pull away, And say that being friends is just fine. I'm sick of pretending, That I don't mind. I see your face and I can't erase what's already there, You're just a friend I say again even though I care, I try to bring these thoughts to an end, Cause I'm too in love and it's too damn tough to stay just a friend. You're across the hall flirtin with some idiot guy, Who doesn't care the least bout love. But I keep my fist buried in my pocket, Cause I'm too scared to mess this up. I'm sick of running, From how we feel. I see your face and I can't erase what's already there, You're just a friend I say again even though I care, I try to bring these thoughts to an end, Cause I'm too in love and it's too damn tough to stay just a friend. When even February lasts forever, I know I've gotta go and make a change. I move my lips and just hope for the better, But are you feelin' feelin' feelin' the same? I see your face and I can't erase what's already there. I see your face and I can't erase what's already there, You're just a friend I say again even though I care, I try to bring these thoughts to an end, Cause I'm too in love and it's too damn tough to stay just a friend.
