Why do you try to say goodbye
To someone that you still love?
I know you're feeling sad and so confused
That our love is not enough
You can love a flower and
You can love the sea and
You can love a sunset
In the way that you love me
I understand
As we drift apart but
I stand defenseless
As you take my heart
It's hard being friends
When the flame of love still burns
Oh it hurts when I think of you my baby
Oh it's hard being friends
When the flame of love still burns, oh it hurts
The thought of you in another man's arms
Another man's arms
A thousand kinds of love in every way
I can't pretend that I would wait forever and a day
And let the sands of time erode away
You can love the summer and
You can love a breeze and
You can love the moonlight
In the way that you loved me
I understand
As we drift apart
But the thought of losing you
Still breaks my heart
It's hard being friends
When the flame of love still burns
Oh it hurts when I think of you my baby
Oh it's hard being friends
When the flame of love still burns, oh it hurts
The thought of you in another man's arms
Another man's arms
I gotcha
You can love a flower and
You can love the sea and
You can love a sunset
In the way that you love me
I understand
As we drift apart but
I stand defenseless
As you take my heart
It's hard being friends
When the flame of love still burns
Oh it hurts when I think of you my baby
Oh it's hard being friends
When the flame of love still burns, oh it hurts
The thought of you in another man's arms
Another man's arms
It's hard being friends
