I had a plan in motion

I had a primitive notion

I had something started

I had the whole thing charted

We looked so good on paper, I could die

Spent time together

Like birds of a feather

I became essential

So much potential

But you would see me in that light

I can never be more than just a friend

It's just impossible to pretend

If nothing started, then nothing ends

It's backfired once again

It's backfired once again

An ironic nothing

A beautiful plaything

You are nothing special

Just a fun possession

But oh, how much the tables turn

You discovered my weakness

With such uniqueness

I had human emotion

They killed me off

I wish I had invented someone else

I can never be more than just a friend

If nothing started, then nothing ends

My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend

Oh, it's backfired once again

I can never be more than just a friend

If nothing started, then nothing ends

My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend

Oh, it's backfired once again

It's backfired once again

It's backfired once again

I can never be more than just a friend

If nothing started, then nothing ends

My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend

Oh, it's backfired once again

I can never be more than just a friend

If nothing started, then nothing ends

My heart won't wake up, my heart won't mend

Oh, it's backfired once again
