Alabama Shakes - Friends Lyrics

Alabama Shakes Lyrics

"Friends"

We can't be friends anymore
That's what I said
That's what I said
Though it's hard to believe it
All those days
All those feelings
Where I ate up everything you said
I knew it was too good to be true
Yeah, I shoulda known better
I shoulda known better
I didn't know about you
You make me feel so new and clean
You're a machine I want to be run through

But we can't be friends anymore
We can't be friends no more

You're as perfect as you wanna be
No I can't afford no mistakes

We can't be friends anymore
That's what I said
Just because
It breaks my heart to be one of us

All those days
All those feelings where I laid out everything I am
I knew it was too good to be true
I shoulda known better
I shoulda known better

I didn't know about you
You make me feel so new and clean
You're a machine I wanna be run through

But we can't be friends anymore
We can't be friends anymore
No we can't be friends no more
