"How's Tate?" Mom asks.

"I don't know, we broke up. Actually, I don't know if we were ever dating?" I say.

Look what this girl done did to me

"What? Why? I've never seen you look at someone like that before." Mom says.

She done cut me off from a good, good love

"She said it's best if we're just friends." I say.

She told me that those days were gone (gone, gone, gone)

"It's kind of a number because I really liked her and I thought she liked me too." I say.

Now I'm sitting here going half crazy (oh, oh)
'Cause I know she still thinks about me too (oh, oh)

"Either I win her back or I'll never speak to her again. I can't be friends with her." I say.

And it ain't no way in hell
That I can be just friends with you (you, you, you)

"I hope it all works out for you, honey." Mom says.

Time Skip

"Have you always seen me as just a friend?" I ask.

"Kinda, but no at the same time." Tate says.

I stare at Tate and sigh.

"So why waste my time?" I ask.

"What?" Tate asks.

"Tate, we've had we'd but apparently none of that mean anything to you." I say.

And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it

"Either way, it meant something to me because I'm in love with you. I don't know how you can expect me to act like nothing happened between us and that we're just friends." I say.

And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends, right

"Y-You love me?" Tate asks.

"Yes, I'm sorry if you think that's a lot but it's how I feel." I say.

The way it felt no faking it
Maybe we were moving just a little too fast

"And I can't deny that so this might be the end of our relationship — whatever you wanna call this. I don't wanna be friends." I say.

But what we've done, we can't take it back (back, back, back)
Now I'm sitting here halfway crazy (oh, oh)

She stares at me and sighs.

'Cause I know she still thinks about me too (oh, oh)

"If that's how you feel, that's how you feel." She says.

And it ain't no way in hell
That I can be just friends with you (you, you, you)

"You should've told me that you didn't see me like that." I say.

And I wish we never did it
And I wish we never loved it

"You makes songs about getting your heart broken and you just broke mine." I say getting up.

And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends

I leave and sigh.

And all I can say is
La-la-la la la la la

Time Skip

"You can't sit around all day we gotta get you some bitches. I mean, lovely ladies." Tommy says.

Laahaahaa
La-la-la la la la la la la

Tommy grabs my arms and pulls me out of bed.

La la la la-ooh
La-la-la la la la laah, hey

"C'mon." Tommy says as I whine.

Ain't no telling what we could have been
Ain't no telling what we could have been, no

"I miss her. I should've never kissed her." I say.

And if I knew it'd ends like this
I never would have kissed you 'cause I fell in love with you

"I would never wasted my time and got attached." I say.

We never would have kicked it

"Hate to break it to you but Tate doesn't miss you." He says.

Tate's View

"I feel like and idiot. I hurt my best friend and lost her. All because I didn't tell her what I wanted." I say.

Girl, now everything's different
I've lost my homie, lover and my friend

"It's kinda your fault, you lead her on." Tucker says.

That's why I wish we never did it, woo (oh yea)
Ooh yeah and I wish we never loved it (I wish we never loved it)

"I know!" I say.

And I wish I never fell so deep in love with you
And now it ain't no way we can be friends (friends)

"I'm just gonna call her." I say.

We can't be friends
La-la-la la la la la

I call Y/n and answer on the last ring.

La-la-la la la la la la la

"Hello." Y/n mumbles.

La-la-la la la la laah

"Hey." I say.

Ain't no telling what we could have been
