I Don't Want A Lover

I don't want a lover
 I just need a friend
 I don't want a lover
 I just need a friend
 You can't just leave me
 To face life on my own
 I know you don't love me no more
 I knew this day it would come
 Even when it cuts so deep
 It's true I still want you
 But the harder I try
 The more I seem to lose
 I don't want a lover
 I just need a friend
 I've had time to recover
 Now that I know it wasn't love
 It's always a different story
 When it's me who's in the wrong
 But you can't have it all
 'Cause I'm the one who's strong
 I've already been burnt before
 Once, but never again
 I know the time will come
 That's when you'll need me then
 I don't want a lover
 I just need a friend
 I've had time to recover
 Now that I know it wasn't love
 I don't want a lover
 I just need a prayer
 I know you never cared
 Now that I know it wasn't love
 You don't even care
 'Bout what I'm saying
 You don't even think
 What you're doing
 All you see is what you want it to be
 But in there, there's just no room for me
