Hunter Hayes
Friend
[Verse 1]
Went from strangers to hello
From goin' out to goin' home
To endin' up in what we didn't know we started
Went from sayin' this won't work
To you wrapped up in my shirt
And somehow now I have the keys to your apartment

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess the best mistakes
Still can't be undone
I just hope that when you think of me
You don't think of me as one

[Chorus]
I'm not askin' for a lover
I just want us not to end, yeah
If I can't have you
Then I want the closest thing
No, I'm not askin' to get back again
No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh
Ah, ah-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
I went from wakin' up with you
To lonely fillin' up the room
To knowin' you could never love me at my darkеst
I can get over your kiss
And the latе night talks I miss
It's the distance that you made that hits the hardest

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I guess the best mistakes
Still can't be undone
I just hope that when you think of me
You don't think of me as one

[Chorus]
I'm not askin' for a lover (Askin' for a lover)
I just want us not to end (Want us not to end)
If I can't have you
Then I want the closest thing
No, I'm not askin' to get back again
No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend, yeah

[Bridge]
Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, ah-oh (Oh, I'm just askin' for)
Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, oh-oh (A friend, a friend, a friend)
Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, oh-oh (Oh, I'm just askin')
Ah, ah-oh, ah-oh, oh-oh (A friend, a friend, a friend)
[Chorus]
I'm not askin' for a lover
I just want us not to end, yeah
If I can't have you
Then I want the closest thing
No, I'm not askin' to get back again
No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend
No, tonight, I'm just askin' for a friend
