Could Have Been Friends

There's a picture my mama kept in a drawer She pulled it out of the trash after I said we were over for sure She must have known that one day the heartache would end I'd come to terms with the past and wanna' see that picture again Turns out Mama was right Cause I'm wonderin' about you tonight Senior prom in the palm of my hand Wishin' we could have been friends We took a chance one night on the hood of my car Couldn't hold back anymore though you swore we'd never go that far But playin' it safe never felt nearly as good As playin' those games in the dark, pushin' you as far as I could Maybe it was a mistake Stealin' all of the love I could make And this hurtin' is the price for the sin Yeah, I wish we just could have been friends The last word you heard was far from the truth The cruelest thing I'd ever spoken And there's no way to tell you how sorry I am Cause every bond has been broken Yeah, the loose ends are choking me now Life's been good to me and I'm sure it's been good to you I found a true love and heard that you did, too Now you're up in Manhattan, the big city sure suits you well Well, I'm still in this small town but I'm making a name for myself There's no shadow of a doubt Honey, we would have never worked out It was all for the best in the end Still, I wish we could have been friends Oh, I wish we could have been friends I wish we could have been There's a picture my mama kept in a drawer I stumbled across it and I can't bear to look at it no more
