Just Be Friends
　　　　　　... music and original lyrics by Dixie Flatline


* Just be friends　All we gotta do
　Just be friends　It's time to say goodbye
　Just be friends　All we gotta do
　Just be friends　Just be friends　Just be friends

It came to me last dawn
when I was laying on my bed
Felt like I’m tryin’ to pick up every piece of shattered glass
Dripping red from my fingertips
but no words would slip from my open lips
Was this we face a kind of thing we ever wished to see?

Deep in my heart
I think I knew the answer from the start
the hardest one to choose is now the best for both of us
I’m just scared to admit it all
and tryin’ to find a way to deny it all
Will I be brave enough one day to say the words to you?

Slowly but steadily
this world is withering away
Only one way’s left for me to go forward
Colors are fading
you are still smiling
but I have to let it go

I shouted I LOVE YOU till my voice gave out
Reechoing　and answering
but nothing is coming back
The chain that held us two together is taken away
and I realize that not a thing is left in me now
The fortune that brought you to my life
blacking out　falling out
and ending up all in vain
“So that’s the way the cookie crumbles”
I said to myself
A line of tears on my dry cheeks
I feel like I’m someone else

* (repeat)

It hit me clear last night
when all the winds had died away
Let’s say that I picked up the petals scattered on the floor
It will never be in bloom again
No　Nothing will ever be the same again
The time we shared stopped ticking on
There’s nothing we can do

Closing my eyes
I’m in the very place when we first met
The gentle smile you gave has never left my mind since then
We pretended that it’s gone by
and lost every single thing but a painful sigh
So now our heart’s so full of thorns
they even ceased to ache

Our relations through the days have turned gloomy gray
only my heart is unchanged and forsaken
I know I still love you
I don’t wanna leave you
but I have to say goodbye

The rain is pouring down on my broken heart
badly stunned and paralyzed
I stood there with shrouded sight
I thought that I was somewhat ready to take in this pain
but I wish it never came
because I cannot endure
Red string of fate that kept us together
unraveling and loosening,
vanishing out of sight
And now it’s time to bid farewell to my dearest love
I’ve made a promise to myself that I’ll never look back again


If I can make my dream come true
once is enough,
I ask for nothing more now
let us undo the things that we came through
and I promise I’ll find you like when it first started


I’m shouting I LOVED YOU till my voice gives out
Reechoing　and answering
and nothing is coming back
The chain that held us two together is taken away
and I realize that not a thing is left in me now
Red string of fate that kept us together
unraveling　and loosening
vanishing out of sight
And now it’s time to bid farewell to my dearest love
I’ve made a promise to myself that I’ll never look back again

I’ll never look back again

*(repeat)
