She Calls Me Friend

Rickey Tate

(Sadly, sometimes one friend thinks they are more than friends?)

Friend, she calls me friend. and I’ll never tell her the truth
What I feel, how I wish that this friend could be so much more
But she’s too close to ever see, that this friend with a broken heart could be
That true love she’s longing for, that true love she’s longing for

She runs to me when somebody breaks her heart
And I convince her that somewhere there’s true love
She says “true love is so hard to find these days”
Then she breaks my heart to pieces when she turns and walks away

Friend, she friend, and somehow I’ll find the strength again
to talk of love as a distant thing and be her friend if that’s all I can be
‘cause she’s too close to ever see that this friend with a broken heart could be
that true love…… she’s longing for

She runs to me when somebody breaks her heart
And I convince her that somewhere there’s true love
she says “ true love is so hard to find these days”
Then she breaks my heart to pieces when she turns and walks away

She calls me friend, friend, she calls me friend, friend…..friend
