We  can't play this game anymore
 But can  we still be friends?
Things  just can't go on like before
 But can  we still be friends?
 We had something  to learn
 Now it's time  for the wheel  to turn
 Grains of sand,  one by one
 Before you know  it's all gone
Let's  admit we made a mistake
 But can  we still be friends?
Heartbreak's  never easy to take
 But can  we still be friends?
 It's a strange  sad affair
 Sometimes seems  that we just  don't care
 Don't waste time  feeling hurt
 We've been through hell to  - get  - her
Dannana etc
Can  we still be friends
 Can we still  get together sometimes?
Hey  babe,  can we still go on?
 We awoke  from our dream
 Things are not  always what  they seem
 Memroies  linger on
 It's like a sweet,  sad, old song
 Repeat interlude till fade...
