Lyrics
[Verse 1]
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la
[Verse 2]
Never thought that we would ever be more than friends
Now I'm all confused 'cause for you, I have deeper feelings
We both thought it was cool to cross the line
And I was convinced it would be alright
Now things are strange, nothing's the same
And really, I just want my friend back
[Verse 3]
And my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(Can't get you out of my system, oh, yeah)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on (Holding on)
Said my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(Can't get you out of my system, ohh, yeah)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on
[Verse 4]
I'd hate to walk away from you as if this never existed
'Cause when we kissed, the moment after, I looked at you different
Yeah, lately I gotta watch what I say
'Cause you take things personal nowadays
You used to laugh, now you get mad
Damn, I just want my friend back, yeah
[Verse 5]
And my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(Oh, can't get you out of my system)
And I'm wondering if it's worth me holding on
Said my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(Can't get you out of my system, yeah)
And I wonder if it's worth me holding on
[Verse 6]
Oh, oh, ohh, ohh
Yeah
What happened to the one I used to know?
Oh, yeah, yeah
The one I used to laugh and joke with
The one I used to tell all my secrets
We used to chill and be down for whatever
Whenever, together, yeah
[Verse 7]
And my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(I'm going half crazy, baby)
And I wonder if it's worth me holding on
Said, my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(And I just don't know, I said, I just don't know what to do now)
And I wonder if it's worth me holding on
[Verse 8]
(Listen, we used to chill, yeah, we used to hang, yeah)
And my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone
(We used to, we used to do so many things together, yeah, yeah, yeah) And I wonder if it's worth me holding on
Said my mind's gone half crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone (Yeah, yeah, ohh)
And I wonder if it's worth me holding on (Oh, oh, yeah)
Oh, oh, oh
