You say although we broke up, you still just wanna be friends.
But how can we still be friends, when seeing you only
breaks my heart again?
And there ain t nothing I can do about it...

You claim you still care for me but your heart and soul need to be free.
And now that you ve got your freedom, you want to still hold on to me.
You don t want me or yourself, so let me find somebody else, hey, hey.

Why doncha be a man about it, and set me free?
Now, you don t care a thing about me, you re just usin me.
Go on, get out of my life and let me sleep at night.
