We used to wonder what we would do
If the moment ever came
When we discovered we were different
Where we used to be the same
Now we know, we're falling apart, and it's a shame
We gotta try to stay friends forever

Dying dreams surround us
As we lie in bed awake
Trying not to listen
While two hearts break
All the memories are more than I can take
We gotta try to stay friends forever

There's a part, a part of my heart
That will always belong to you
Wherever you may go
I want you to know
My love will always be strong for you

We're gonna move beyond the pain
In time we'll start anew
But it would be a crime to lose it all
After all that we've been through
I never thought it would end this way
But there's nothing left to do
Except to try to stay friends forever
We gotta try to stay friends forever
We gotta try to stay friends forever
I know we're gonna stay friends forever
We gotta try to stay friends forever
