How do you tell someone it's not working
Admitting it's because of you, not them
Can silence be a crueler way to hurt them
Sorry, I'm just asking for a friend
How do you explain when it feels finished
You've been trying but no longer can pretend
Why does the fact of loving you
Leave them diminished
Sorry, I'm just asking for a friend
Don't worry there's nobody else
I know I haven't been myself
I guess I'm just wondering aloud
Reaching for some words that help
To lead us back to how we felt
The things love has always been about
Have you ever wondered why you feel so empty
You've been around this block,
Now here you are again
Wondering why some know so little
And others plenty
Sorry, I'm just asking for a friend
Instrumental verse
Don't worry there's not someone else
I know I don't talk much myself
But now I'm just wondering aloud
Searching for some words that help
To lead me back to when I felt
The things love is supposed to be about
When there's nothing left to say,
How do you say it
When there's nowhere else to go
Have you reached the end
Will this song always remind me
When I play it
Sorry, I'm just asking for a friend
