Brilliant song by Stockton based band Young Rebel Set, who don t always get the
credit they deserve.
I never said Id marry you, I never said I wanted to at all
An all those things I promised you, Id never said Id follow through at all
An all the time I was thinking, of ways to change your mind,
Im sorry if I led you down the line,
I never said I wanted you, I never said I needed you at all,
An all those things I said Id do, I never said Id see them through at all,
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
Im sorry if I led you down the line,
An I know sometimes that its hard to take,
An I know that you still care,
- â
Thats why I say why cant we just be friends?
Instead of lovers till the end.
So Im gonna go to Stockton town, find me a girl to around again,
An Im gonna do just what I like, an Im gonna do it, every night again,
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
Im sorry if I led you down the line,
An I know sometimes that its hard to take,
An I know that you still care,
- â
Thats why I say why cant we just be friends?
Instead of lovers till the end.
I sat up drinking for three lonely nights I asked myself, when will this end?
I washed these thoughts down with a bottle of wine, I said my dear, youre just my friend
Cause I never said Id marry you, I never said I wanted to at all
An all the things I promised you, I never said Id follow through at all
So thats why Ill be leaving, before I change my mind,
Im sorry if I led you down the line,
An I know sometimes that its hard to take,
An I know that you still care,
- â
Thats why I say why cant we just be friends?
Instead of lovers till the end.
Instead of lovers till the end.
