My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
It hurts, oh it hurts
I lose my sleep at night
Even with open eyes, it echoes
The sound of your voice leaves a scratch inside me
Will you come, will you come?
Will you come running to find me?
Or is what was lost gone forever?
Did I truly lose you for good?
A heavy weight fills my entire heart
It will only heal if I see you
This wound inside me, deep inside me
You haven't faded away, you haven't faded away
I haven't forgotten your face, nor the moments you touched me
Not a single moment seems to move on
It is not ending, this just won't end
Ever since you left, it hurts, oh it hurts
Your love still remains inside me
Ever since you left, it hurts, oh it hurts
Your love still remains inside me
My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
You stood by me, you stood by me
You were always there for me
"You will stay with me for a lifetime"
Believing that, I walked away from you
Love is indeed a wound
Without letting our friendship die
I believed it would bring us together
I still believe that even now
I freaking miss you, don't you understand?
Want you hitting up my Instagram
Unblocked your number
Be my man, be my man
Give me what we used to have
Friendship from four years ago
Bring that back, let's bring that back
I just need you, that's the fact
Oh baby, sorry, take my hand
My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
It aches, it constantly aches
My heart yearns to see you
I cannot bear this longing
I need you to hold me up
Everything is spinning around
I am drowning in the depths of pain
Right by my side, right beside me
I need you here to save me
Undying is my love for you
Miss all our little rendezvous
Best friend, boyfriend, my all-in-one
No replacement, restart, let's run
My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least be my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you at least come back as my friend?
My ex-lover...
Will you give your love back to me?
