Why Are We Still Friends? (Lyrics from 98 Degrees)


We do almost everything that lovers do

And that's why it's hard, just to be friends with you

Everytime your heart is broken by the fool

I want you to know, that it hurts me too

It's hard to wipe your tears away

Knowing that you should be with me

Now tell me why

"But.. but everything was going great,"

Tears trickled out of her eyes,

"How could this happen?"

They started rolling down her cheeks,

"We were perfect for each other,"

Her eyes yearning for answers...

"Ron, it hurts so much.."

Answers which I did not hold.

Why are we still friends, when everything says

We should be more then we are?

And tell me why, everytime I find

Someone that I like

We always end up just being friends

"I have to go study, see you tomorrow,"

Her soft lips brushed against my cheek,

"You two are meant to be, I know it."

I watch as my angel leaves...

Turning back to Harry, I whisper..

"I know it too."

I would hate for you to find somebody new

Who you really love, cuz it would mean losing you

But am I a fool girl not to see?

If I'm always scared I'll lose you anyway

Somehow, somewhere I've got to choose

No matter if it's win or lose

"I really think I like him Ron,"

Her eyes twinkle as she speaks of him,

I mechanically smile, smile that smile,

That smile which hides all the pain inside..

Someday, someday girl, I'll tell you..

Tell you how much I want you, need you,

Someday I'll tell you everything, for now-

"I"m really happy for you Mione."

I don't wanna be like your brother

I don't wanna be your best friend

I only wanna be your lover

When will this end?

If I told you that I wanna be in your life

Then you could be the woman in mine!

You look more alluring than I can describe,

I find your eyes in the mirror,

The white, silk dress fits you perfectly,

No words are spoken as I gaze at your image.

You break the silence with a question,

"How do I look?"

"Like you look everyday," I answer.

You stare at me with a puzzled face.

"Beautiful."

Why are we still friends, when everything says

We should be more then we are?

And tell me why, everytime I find

Someone that I like

We always end up just being friends

"Thank you Ron for being the best man,"

I grin and tell her its no problem.

"Ron, your my best friend, even more than that,

Your like a brother, thank you for everything."

I falsely claim I feel the exact same way.

But more than anything I want to be more.

To be her lover, to be her soulmate,

To be more than friends.
