Befriends Lyrics

I go through your pictures in my phone
'Cause sometimes, they get me through the day
And whenever I start to feel alone
I just play your voicemails
That I saved before things changed
Now I read the message you sent tryna tune out
When you say I know you love me but
You should just forget about us
But I done swam to deep to come up now
You try to tell me I'll make someone happy some day
But I don't understand how you can just throw away
This heart I gave to you
Right in front of my face, oh

No, I don't wanna be friends
'Cause I done already started lovin' you

Hey, uh, listen

I wanna take a drive to where you live, but I won't
But I still feel like ain't nobody supposed to be there but me with you
It should be me there wakin' up next to you
It should be me takin' 'em showers with you
And I should be the one you want
Why you wanna go and mess up everything, baby?
Now the only thing to make it better, is if you say you wanna be mine, hey
Now don't you get it, baby, a good man like me is hard to find, yeah
Look, I don't wanna hear no maybes in the future
See, there you go puttin' me last, when I put you first
You got me listenin' to songs, but they don't work
'Cause they only remind me of how much love hurts

So no, I don't wanna be friends
'Cause I done already started lovin' you, whos-oh

Oh, whoa-oh, yeah, hey
Look here
See, I got a problem with this whole friend thing
And uh, here's my reasons why
Number one, you kiss me like you love me
Number two, you touch me like you love me (yeah, hey)
And number three, you make love to me like you love me
Yeah

So that's why I don't wanna be friends
'Cause I done already started lovin' you, oh, whoa-oh
Ayy

I don't wanna be friends, no (wanna be friends)
'Cause I already started lovin' you, yeah
Oh, whoa-oh, ooh
