Could Have Been Friends Lyrics

There's a picture my mama kept in a drawerShe pulled it out of the trash after I said we were over for sureShe must have known that one day the heartache would endI'd come to terms with the past and wanna see that picture againTurns out Mama was right'Cause I'm wonderin' about you tonightSenior prom in the palm of my handWishin' we could have been friendsWe took a chance one night on the hood of my carCouldn't hold back anymore though you swore we'd never go that farBut playin' it safe never felt nearly as goodAs playin' those games in the dark, pushin' you as far as I couldMaybe it was a mistakeStealin' all of the love I could makeAnd this hurtin' is the price for the sinYeah, I wish we just could have been friendsThe last word you heard was far from the truthThe cruelest thing I'd ever spokenAnd there's no way to tell you how sorry I am'Cause every bond has been brokenYeah, the loose ends are choking me nowLife's been good to me and I'm sure it's been good to youI found a true love and I heard that you did, tooNow you're up in Manhattan, the big city sure suits you wellWell, I'm still in this small town but I'm making a name for myselfThere's no shadow of a doubtHoney, we would have never worked outIt was all for the best in the endStill, I wish we could have been friendsOh, I wish we could have been friendsI wish we could have beenThere's a picture my mama kept in a drawer
I stumbled across it and I can't bear to look at it no more
