Brighten – Friends For Lovers Lyrics 15 years ago
"I've mistaken friends for lovers today
As if it was normal anyway
I fell for acting like she wanted to stay
Turning love into hate, but in a good way"

This seems to me to be about a guy who
is upset about a girl who thinks they should
just be friends, and they both know it, but she
wont admit it. So her believed what she was saying
instead of how she was acting.
When she finally told him, she's really appologetic,
and wants to stay close friends.
aka:"Turning love into hate, but in a good way"

"You've been acting like a real person today
Taking peoples hearts and throwing them away
You will tell me that you really wanted to stay but I
Know you didn't that's what they all say"

He's really upset by it because he let himself be
fooled and fell for her. She probably told her she
wished it was working between them, and she
really wanted to stay, but knew it wasn't right.
And he didn't beleive her, but just thought that she's just
trying to be nice.

"If this is the answer
What is the question
It's getting faster
Everyone's rushing"

And he's wondering what his is going to mean,
he has a ton of thoughts in his mind

"How crazy can crazy get when
There is nothing to call normal like before
Maybe you should find what to believe in
Hate isn't your true love anymore"

He wonders how they could ever just be friends and
wishes she'd figure out what she believes because
being friends isn't going to be ok with him.
It's too hard and it would crush him more.
"Hate isn't your true love anymore"
is referring to earlier
"Turning love into hate, but in a good way"

"I see the way you're acting lately
You'd never know it but you're standing at the door
You never trust enough to make your own mind
I'm not making it up for you make it up"

He's frustrated because she wont say it outloud
and he knows where she's headed, but is dragging
it out instead of just being upfront and honest.

"Now is not the time for old bad news
It's almost over what's left to lose
By tomorrow we will be somewhere brand new
So just do what your music tells you to"

He's tired of everything and wants her to make up
her mind and tells her to just follow her heart.
