Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Too ill to fall in love in this lifetime
Enough, baby
I know you wrapped in us, but baby, don't be
If I say I'm looking for love, it's a beautiful lie
Too much for me
Posting locations, baby, when you know
[Verse 2]
You fleed like a thief in the night
When you get home, just wave while I fly by
First class lookin' down, I'm like, "Bye-bye"
Too far gone, too high to see a side eye
Attitude on ten 'bout somethin' that don't even mean nothin'
Top floor penthouse, Four Seasons with my feet up
Tryna play your cards you calling, ain't no talking
I'm sorry
[Chorus]
Think we would be better as friends
Better as friends
We could be better as friends
Better as friends
[Verse 3]
Baby, this is oil and water, can't go no further
We reached the bottom, my one love wonder
Don't make this harder, we buried under
The weight of the world when we should be on top of it
You can build something with someone else, yeah (Whoa)
I think you'd be better off loving someone else, oh
[Chorus]
Better as friends
Better as friends
We could be better as friends
Better as friends
[Bridge]
Open
Keep it wide open for me
Open for me, ooh
[Bridge]
Pussy and love don't mix, don't want no titles
Mixing romance with lust, don't want no rivals
Driving on damaged roads repeating cycles
[Bridge]
See ya
When you ready for me, we could meet up
You need me, you don't need love
[Chorus]
I think we would be better as friends
Better as friends
We could be better as friends
[Outro]
Better as friends
Better as friends
We could be better as friends
Better as friends
