Better Off Friends by Rich McFarlin

Verse:
A fairy-tale romance
Stars in our eyes
Lives all entangled
Hearts all entwined

We knew that our love
Was destined to be
My heart for you
And your heart for me

But life has a way
Of bursting balloons
Real life is real
And not some cartoon

Chorus:
The long road you travel
Often comes to an end
And lovers they find
sometimes
That they’re just better off friends

Verse:
Packing up boxes
Filled with regrets
Tryin’ to find out
If there’s hope for us yet

One last embrace
One last goodbye
You turned to leave
All my dreams died

But love like a star
Shooting by in the night
Allows us so briefly
To live in its light

Chorus:
The long road you travel
Often comes to an end
And lovers they find
sometimes
That they’re just better off friends
