How can you make me believe
That it’s that easy for you to leave
You say it’s over and we’re through
Did you ever love me like I loved you
If I meant anything to you at all
Then how can you make that kind of call
We didn’t even have a fight
Something about it doesn’t seem right

You’re telling me you need your space
Let’s part as friends in any case
Like it’s that easy to erase
The love that both of us embraced

Are we supposed to just be friends
When we still have some loose ends
I loved you too much to anticipate
That we would reach an expiration date
Or in this dichotomy I’d get caught
See it’s heart breaking to realize
That there was nothing
Behind your eyes

You’re telling me you need your space
Let’s part as friends in any case
Like it’s that easy to erase
The love that both of us embraced

I really don’t know
Where to go from here
It’s not as easy as it may appear
To make the transition
I’m just being sincere
I’d still want to kiss you
If you come near

(3rd Verse)
Don’t bother to give me any false hope
Of us getting back together
Just so I can cope
Cuz you can’t clean it
With a bar of soap
I’d still be confused
And feel disabused
Neither of which I’d ever choose

You’re telling me you need your space
Let’s part as friends in any case
Like it’s that easy to erase
The love that both of us embraced

How can you make me believe
That it’s that easy for you to leave
You say it’s over and we’re through
Did you ever love me like I loved you
If I meant anything to you at all
Then how can you make that kind of call
We didn’t even have a fight
Something about it doesn’t seem right
