[Verse 1]
You tell me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets
Hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
[Chorus]
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends
[Breakdown]
I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around on bed all day
Just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night
Wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone
Who wants to take me home
[Chorus]
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends
[Verse 2]
You left behind some clothes
My belly somersaults
When I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls
[Chorus]
And no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all
[Outro]
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
You tell me you don't love me
Over a cup of coffee
And I just have to look away
A million miles between us
Planets crashing to dust
I just let it fade away
I'm walking empty streets
Hoping we might meet
I see your car parked on the road
The light on at your window
I know for sure that you're home
But I just have to pass on by
[Chorus]
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still this obsessed
I guess I always knew the score
This is how our story ends
[Breakdown]
I smoke your brand of cigarettes
And pray that you might give me a call
I lie around on bed all day
Just staring at the walls
Hanging round bars at night
Wishing I had never been born
And give myself to anyone
Who wants to take me home
[Chorus]
So no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I still feel like this
I guess I always knew the score
This is where our story ends
[Verse 2]
You left behind some clothes
My belly somersaults
When I pick them off the floor
My friends all say they're worried
I'm looking far too skinny
I've stopped returning all their calls
[Chorus]
And no, of course, we can't be friends
Not while I'm still so obsessed
I want to ask where I went wrong
But don't say anything at all
[Outro]
It took a cup of coffee
To prove that you don't love me
