Lirik lagu Ariana Grande "We Can't Be Friends"
i didn’t think you’d understand me how could you ever even try
but i don’t wanna hide
but i don’t want to feed this monstrous fire
just want to let this story die and i’ll be alright
we can’t be friendsbut i’d like to just pretend
you cling to your papers and pens wait until you like me again
wait for your love
love
i'll want for your love
me and my truth we sit in silence baby girl it’s just me and you cause i don’t wanna argue
but i don’t wanna bite
my tongue yeah i think i'd rather die
you got me misunderstood but at least i look this good
we can’t be friends
but i’d like to just pretend
you cling to your papers and pens wait until you like me again
wait for your love
love
i'll want for your love
know that you made me
i don’t like how you paint me yet i’m still here hanging
not what you made me something like a daydream but i feel so seen in the night so for now it’s only me
and maybe that’s all i need
we can’t be friends
but i’d like to just pretend
you cling to your papers and pens wait until you like me again
wait for your love
love
i'll want for your love
