I Don't Want to Lose a Friend

You smile when you see me
but I have a feeling
we're falling apart
back to the start
we talk in the hallway
but then go our separate ways
who is to blame
should I feel shame

I'm trying hard to rise above
rise above the loss
or should I be holding on
holding on to us

I don't wanna lose a friend
how do I deal with this kind of feeling
I don't want to lose a friend
don't you know I need you by my side

I don't want to lose a friend
I don't want to lose a friend

I tell you I'm lonely
come to you hoping
that you'll understand
lend me a hand
you care when you're with me
but then you ignore me
all that I need
is someone who sees me

I'm trying hard to rise above
rise above the loss
or should I be holding on
holding on to us

I don't wanna lose a friend
how do I deal with this kind of feeling
I don't want to lose a friend
don't you know I need you by my side

I don't want to lose a friend
I don't want to lose a friend

Don't leave me alone
You know I need you so
I pray for you to stay
What can I do for you to change your mind

I don't wanna lose a friend
how do I deal with this kind of feeling
I don't want to lose a friend
don't you know I need you by my side

I don't want to lose a friend
I don't want to lose a friend
