Ah-ah, oh-oh
Can't be lovers, no, no, no
Oh-oh, can't be lovers, no
Ah, ah, oh, no, no
We tried, we tried, but we couldn’t get it right
Tangled in the sheets, tangled in the fight
You wanted me, and I wanted you too
But we were never what we were meant to be, were we?
I don’t know why we couldn’t make it last
Every word we said is stuck in the past
I reached for you, but you pulled away
Can’t be lovers, no, not today
But I still feel you in every breath I take
I still think about you when I can’t awake
We were more than just two souls entwined
But now we’re just two hearts left behind
Cannot be lovers, can’t be friends
This is where it all ends
We couldn’t be what we wanted to
And now we’re just two strangers, me and you
Can’t be lovers, can’t be lovers
Can’t be lovers, no
Cannot be lovers, can’t be friends
This is where it all ends
We couldn’t be what we wanted to
And now we’re just two strangers, me and you
Can’t be lovers, can’t be lovers
Can’t be lovers, no
You looked at me like I was something to lose
But love can’t survive when it’s all confused
We fought the tides, we battled the storms
But we couldn't find a way to keep us warm
You wanted me to change, but I stayed the same
Now everything we had just feels like a game
I can’t pretend, no, I can’t lie
We were never meant to fly, we were meant to say goodbye
But I still feel you in every breath I take
I still think about you when I can’t awake
We were more than just two souls entwined
But now we’re just two hearts left behind
Cannot be lovers, can’t be friends
This is where it all ends
We couldn’t be what we wanted to
And now we’re just two strangers, me and you
Can’t be lovers, can’t be lovers
Can’t be lovers, no
Cannot be lovers, can’t be friends
This is where it all ends
We couldn’t be what we wanted to
And now we’re just two strangers, me and you
Can’t be lovers, can’t be lovers
Can’t be lovers, no
Maybe we were never meant to be
Maybe love wasn’t what we thought it could be
But I’ll carry the pieces of you in my mind
And maybe one day, we’ll leave it all behind
Cannot be lovers, can’t be friends
This is where it all ends
We couldn’t be what we wanted to
And now we’re just two strangers, me and you
Can’t be lovers, can’t be lovers
Can’t be lovers, no
Cannot be lovers, can’t be friends
This is where it all ends
We couldn’t be what we wanted to
And now we’re just two strangers, me and you
Can’t be lovers, can’t be lovers
Can’t be lovers, no
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Cannot be lovers, no
Cannot be lovers, no
Cannot be lovers, no, no
