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
And really, I just want my friend back
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 wonderin', 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)
And I'm wonderin', if it's worth me holding on (oh, oh, yeah)
I'd to hate 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
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 wonderin', 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)
And I'm wonderin', if it's worth me holding on (oh, oh, yeah)
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (yeah), 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, uh
We used to chill and be down for whatever, whenever, together, yeah
And my mind's gone half-crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone (oh)
(I'm goin' half-crazy, baby)
And I'm wonderin', if it's worth me holding on (oh, yeah, oh)
Said my mind's gone half-crazy, 'cause I can't leave you alone (and I just don't know)
And I'm wonderin', if it's worth me holding on (I said I just don't know what to do now)
(Listen, we used to chill,)
And my mind's gone half-crazy 'cause I can't leave you alone (yeah, we used to hang)
(We used to) and I'm wonderin' if it's worth me holding on
(We used to do so many things together, yeah)
(Yeah yeah, uh) and my mind's gone half-crazy
But I can't leave you alone (yeah, yeah)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) and I'm wonderin' if it's worth me holding on (yeah)
Oh, oh, oh, uh
