When Lovers Become Friends Lyrics

As we sit here

Staring into nothing

Promises long forgotten

Places that we'll never see

Our arms close

But not for long

I want to say the words

That comforts your heart

But still you know

This is where we part

A painful smile

A hug that needs to end

Nails us to the ground

But then I walk away

A flock of birds

Follow me down the road

Like a last act

Sending me on my way

I want to say the words

That comforts your heart

But still you know

This is where we part

A mountain so steep

Now we tumble out of reach

Then we crawl back onto common ground

So this is where lovers become friends

I want to say the words

That comforts your heart

I want you to know

That I find it just as hard

I want to say the words

That comforts your heart

But still you know

This is where we part
