Can We Still Be Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?
[Chorus 1]
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone
[Verse 2]
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?
[Chorus 2]
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
[Bridge]
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la)
We can't play this game anymore
But can we still be friends?
Things just can't go on like before
But can we still be friends?
[Chorus 1]
We had something to learn
Now it's time for the wheel to turn
Grains of sand, one by one
Before you know it, all gone
[Verse 2]
Let's admit we made a mistake
But can we still be friends?
Heartbreak's never easy to take
But can we still be friends?
[Chorus 2]
It's a strange, sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don't care
Don't waste time feeling hurt
We've been through hell together
[Bridge]
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la)
[Verse 3]
(La la lala la la lala la
Can we still be friends?)
Can we still get together sometime
(La la lala la la lala la
Can we still be friends?)
You know life will still go on and on and on
[Chorus 3 - Outro]
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad old song
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la lala la la lala la
Can we still be friends?)
Can we still get together sometime
(La la lala la la lala la
Can we still be friends?)
You know life will still go on and on and on
[Chorus 3 - Outro]
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It's like a sweet, sad old song
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
(La la la - la la la - la la la)
