Lyrics

[00:47.76] I don't want a lover
[00:51.00] I just need a friend
[00:55.29] I don't want a lover
[00:58.75] I just need a friend
[01:03.18] You can't just leave me
[01:08.09] To face life on my own
[01:11.15] I know you don't love me no more
[01:16.14] I knew this day, it would come
[01:19.04] Even when it cuts so deep
[01:22.44] It's true I still want you
[01:25.57] 
[01:27.74] But the harder I try
[01:30.78] The more I seem to lose
[01:35.14] I don't want a lover
[01:38.61] I just need a friend
[01:43.07] I've had time to recover
[01:47.02] Now that I know it wasn't love
[01:50.92] It's seems a different story
[01:55.64] When it's me who's in the wrong
[01:59.06] But you can't have it all
[02:03.57] 'Cause I'm the one who's strong
[02:06.89] I've already been burnt before
[02:10.08] Once but never again
[02:15.52] I know the time will come
[02:18.42] That's when you'll need me there
[02:22.88] I don't want a lover
[02:26.38] I just need a friend
[02:30.90] I've had time to recover
[02:34.90] Now that I know it wasn't love
[02:38.97] I don't want a lover
[02:42.43] I just need a prayer
[02:47.06] I know you never cared
[02:50.82] Now that I know it wasn't love
[02:54.75] You don't even care 'bout what I'm saying
[02:58.75] You don't even think what you're doing
[03:02.98] All you see is what you want it to be
[03:07.37] But in there there's just no room for me
[03:14.12] 
[03:34.96] I don't want a lover
[03:38.27] I just need a friend
[03:42.66] I've had time to recover
[03:46.42] Now that I know it wasn't love
[03:50.61] You don't even care about what I'm saying
[03:54.55] You don't even think what you're doing
[03:58.64] All you see is what you want it to be
[04:02.98] There's just no room in there for me
[04:06.65] I don't want a lover
[04:10.09] I just need a friend
[04:14.62] I've had to recover
[04:18.38] Now that I know it wasn't love
[04:22.53] I don't want a lover (now that I know)
[04:25.88] I just need a prayer (now that I know)
[04:30.25] I know you never cared (it wasn't love, no)
[04:34.43] Now that I know it wasn't love (it wasn't love)
[04:38.47] I don't want a lover (now that I know, yeah)
[04:42.37] I just need a friend (now that I know, yeah I know it wasn't love)
[04:45.79]
