no more than a good friend - reuben levine lyrics

but i never loved her
no more than a good friend should
no more than a good man could
she ain’t right for me
i’m resigned to be
no more than a good friend

i think i met you just about a year ago
my friend ben said we’d be friends, not that he would know
we had a couple of mutual friends, nothing special
we had a few things in common, all of them incidental
i remember that you said i was a decent fellow
i remember that your shirt was colored green and yellow
i think we waxed a minute about the facts of living
i think you cracked a little bit of a smile, and grinning
i think i asked a timid question and laughed
but i don’t think we passed
further than these little chats
but it’s a different path you’ve taken, you’ve moved on
i guess i’m still coming to terms that you’ve gone
you’re in a new world and singing a new song
you’ve been too far for far too long

we had gotten close though, both so close to each other
how many people did i have to tell i wasn’t your brother?
how many reasons did i have to give for giving you comfort
and living under the level of significant other
i’d get a hit back every time i sent you a text
reply in six flat seconds, that’s what i could expect
or a quick snap, beckoning conversation i’d sit back
begin laughing, we catapult into this chit*chatting
and knee*slapping and knuckle*cracking
we’d have it all
writ back, and tapping every single letter capital
syntax is less of a habit, more of a hassle with
sm acronyms that i’m glad i was understandable

i never loved her
no more than a good friend should
no more than a good man could
cause i know i’m a good man

but i never loved her
no more than a good friend should
no more than a good man could
she ain’t right for me
but i’m fine to be
no more than a good friend

cause lately i’ve been acting strangely, i’ve been feeling cornered
i’m often sorta off, it’s ordinary, call it sordid
i’m wondering if i’m really the son that my father ordered
tension coming from every direction; drawn and quartered
but it’s not important
it’s all according to plan
assuming, tomorrow morning
live another day again
and you’ve been keeping yourself in the moment and always moving
believing the grand illusion that you still give a d*mn
but do you?
or are you sick of sticky liquid that you’re wading through
sick of the ticky*tocky ticking minutes you’re waiting to finish
your patience is limited and life feels dull
are you hungry even when your dinner plate seems full?
do you choke up on your speeches when you step up to the mic?
‘cause if so, then you and me are pretty d*mn alike
remember rob? yeah, i could have loved you better than that
but then i stalled
‘cause that wasn’t where our level was at
i should have called
or at minimum have sent her a chat
i should have fallen in love while the moment was had
‘cause at the thought of her i only start to weigh nothing
she’s like the water of the ocean, she come waving in
i feel all caught up in the moment, won’t you save my skin
don’t get lose ‘cause you only gotta say something
you never told me to love you
any more than a good friend should
no more than a good man could
i was always a good man
no i never loved you
no more than a good friend should
no more than a good man could
