"AS FRIENDS" lyrics

We used to do some things that we claimed only friends would
We used to plan out days that they thought only pairs would
But now I'm stuck here, lost with hella information
'Bout a person that I lost to their own vindication

Mama told me, "Dev, don't ever talk to strangers"
But lately I'm attached; that makes it even stranger
To think that I had listened to her every say-so
I just wished I had the time to know the things that they know

Maybe I'm just stuck between my own emotions
Hate that I'm still lost and never got the notion
Mad that all my love was taken just for granted
And the reason why she left was 'cause she couldn't manage

A man who always loved and gave her all the praises
A man who'd always trust and make her feel amazing
A man who understood in a misunderstanding
So tell me why you had to leave when all you did was damage

Crazy how you blame me for your own reactions
I never had control over your interactions
So now you loving him; I'm glad, I hope you stay there
'Cause it's things I've always done that you cannot obtain there

Better of as friends, I hope you understand me
Or maybe we'd be better if it was an ending
I'm sorry if you miss the things we did as strangers
But I think it's better off if we remain as strangers
