Better Off As Friends Lyrics - Singles - The Waiting

Please excuse my religion 

Excuse the ceremony and the show 

When I first gave in to your advances 

You were wanting to get closer than I'd know 

But I'll allow it for a moment 

For just a moment I'll come near 

Long enough to say those words 

That all men are taught to fear 

I think we'd be better off as friends 

I think that should be where it ends 

There's no complicated reason just as simple as sin 

I think we'd be better off as friends 

Please excuse my reluctance 

Turn your eyes away from my embarrassed grin 

Never gone this far before 

Don't think I could ever go this way again 

So I'll just raise my head 

And look deep into your eyes 

And offer you those words 

I've been conditioned to despise 

I think we'd be better off as friends 

I think that should be where it ends 

There's no complicated reason just as simple as sin 

I think we'd be better off 

I wanted flowers 

You were buying me a ring 

I wanted candy 

You were giving everything, yeah yeah 

Oh, you took my breath away 

Don't think that I have denied it 

But this heart you've stolen, sir 

Do you think we could divide it 

I think we'd be better off as friends 

I think that should be where it ends 

There's no complicated reason just as simple as sin 

I think we'd be better off, yeah 

I think we'd be better off as friends 

I think that should be where it ends 

There's no complicated reason just as simple as sin 

I think we'd be better off as friends, as friends, just friends 

Oh, we could be friends
