Could Have Been Friends Lyrics

There�s a picture my mama kept in a drawer
She pulled it out of the trash after I said we were over for sure
She must have known that one day the heartache would end
I�d come to terms with the past and wanna� see that picture again

Turns out Mama was right
�Cause I�m wonderin� about you tonight
Senior prom in the palm of my hand
Wishin� we could have been friends

We took a chance one night on the hood of my car
Couldn�t hold back anymore though you swore we�d never go that far
But playin� it safe never felt nearly as good
As playin� those games in the dark, pushin� you as far as I could

Maybe it was a mistake
Stealin� all of the love I could make
And this hurtin� is the price for the sin
Yeah, I wish we just could have been friends

The last word you heard was far from the truth
The cruelest thing I�d ever spoken
And there�s no way to tell you how sorry I am
�Cause every bond has been broken
Yeah, the loose ends are choking me now

Life�s been good to me and I�m sure it�s been good to you
I found a true love and heard that you did, too
Now you�re up in Manhattan, the big city sure suits you well
Well, I�m still in this small town but I�m making a name for myself

There�s no shadow of a doubt
Honey, we would have never worked out
It was all for the best in the end
Still, I wish we could have been friends
Oh, I wish we could have been friends
I wish we could have been

There�s a picture my mama kept in a drawer
I stumbled across it and I can�t bear to look at it no more
