"friends" lyrics

Praise be
Your sweet sincerity
But I remain suspicious
Sustained insult to injury
The death of your vulnerability

I hope you know, I hope you know
That it is not you, it's me
I hope you know, I hope you know
Yes, that's what I wanna believe

I tried my best to stop the feeling
Now I know that I don't wanna be friends
I gotta make sure that I mean it
When I say "I wanna love you to death"
"I wanna love you to death"

I hope you know, I hope you know
That there is more to this than meets the eye
I hope you know, I hope you know
I started closing mine 'cause I am already grieving so detrimentally
For something barely yet alive
Succeed in failing to see what I really think and what I wanna believe

I tried my best to stop the feeling
Now I know that I don't wanna be friends
I gotta make sure that I mean it
When I say "I wanna love you to death"
"I wanna love you to death"
Believe in every beat, every breath
I gotta make sure that I mean it
'Til I feel it busting out of my chest
Obvious, evident
Yes, I wanna love you to death

Murder
I'm certain I will find a way to kill this
Love skeptic
Murder, it's curtains
I refuse to let the light in
Love skeptic
I know you heard what I said

I don't wanna be friends
I don't wanna be friends
I don't wanna be friends

I tried my best to stop the feeling
Now I don't wanna be friends
I gotta make sure that I mean it
Believe in every beat, every breath
'Til I feel it busting out of my chest
When I say "I wanna love you to death"
(Death, death, death, death)
