Sheeran, Ed - Friends Lyrics






We're not, no we're not friends, nor have we ever been.
We just try to keep those secrets in a lie,
And if they find out, will it all go wrong?
And Heaven knows, no one wants it to.

So I could take the back road
But your eyes will lead me straight back home.
And if you know me like I know you
You should love me, you should know.

Friends just sleep in another bed,
And friends don't treat me like you do.
Well I know that there's a limit to everything,
But my friends won't love me like you.
No, my friends won't love me like you.

We're not friends, we could be anything.
If we try to keep those secrets safe.
No one will find out if it all went wrong.
They'll never know what we've been through.

So I could take the back road,
But your eyes'll lead me straight back home.
And if you know me like I know you,
You should love me, you should know.

Friends just sleep in another bed,
And friends don't treat me like you do.
Well I know that there's a limit to everything,
But my friends won't love me like you.
No, my friends won't love me like you.

But then again, if we're not friends,
Someone else might love you too.
And then again, if we're not friends,
There'd be nothing I could do, and that's why

Friends should sleep in other beds.
And friends shouldn't kiss me like you do.
And I know that there's a limit to everything.
But my friends won't love me like you.
No, my friends won't love me like you do.
Oh, my friends will never love me like you.

Sheeran, Ed Friends Comments
  1. G.... ....

    Is somewhere here in 2019? The end of the decadeeee

  2. M.... ....

    No my friends don’t treat me like you do. Your my everything and you care so much about me and I love you for that thank you,you were my real best friend who stayed up talking to me till 2am about anything. I thought you would judge me for things and call me crazy but you didn’t. I didn’t realise my friends were fake until we started talking. So tyler if you see this thank you

  3. T.... W....

    This is the first time I heard this song... and there’s no other song I’ve been able to relate to as much as this one. I have a friend who really doesn’t seem like a friend. Every time we see each other is so awkward... but I feel like she might have feelings for me but hides it. And I certainly have feelings for her. I’ve been trying to make a friendly relationship with her for a while now, hoping that sometime later we would be close enough to where I could ask her out. But it’s been a while and we’ve done stuff together and yet it still feels like day one with her. I really care about her and I don’t think she knows exactly how much I love her. But I don’t want to tell her because I fear rejection and I just can’t even imagine what our relationship would be like if she rejected me or chose to be friends. So after a while of trying multiple times to make something work, I just don’t seem to be getting the message to her that I really do like her. Suggestions???

  4. c.... .....

    I don’t think of someone I love in that way..I think of that one person who I truly care about and love because she actually is the one who makes me feel like she does so too..she’s not just saying she’s there for me, she really is..that’s why I think of her while listening to this..it’s because she stands out of my friends and she makes me feel understood without even saying much..that’s exactly why I never want to loose her as a friend and I swear to god if I were into girls I would be in love with her

  5. D.... a....

    Ed wrote it for the" two best friends that fell inlove"but someone is stopping them thats why I hate them

  6. S.... ....

    this song made me realise how much I love my crush who is also one of my best friends and I’m sitting here like well wtf do I do now

  7. S.... O....

    Sprousehart anyone.... (Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse)

  8. 3.... ....

  9. V.... L....

  10. f.... ....

    You dont know how perfectly this fits with my situation-

  11. A.... H....

    Cada que escucho esta canción me recuerda a Hardzzello 🥺

  12. p.... l....

  14. K.... L....

    HARRY AND DRACO FOREVER!!!!!!!!
    (DON'T JUDGE MY SHIPPING!!!)

  15. s.... h....

    How come I only discover this song now??? I feel like it kinda describe the relation I had with my current boyfriend before we got together. We've known each other for about 7 or 8 years, and we've been friends all this time. At the beginning I kinda liked him more and I feel like he did too but everytime we spent time alone or he invited me somewhere my friends would be like "ew you're going out with that guy wtf" because even tho they were his "friends" they didn't find him attractive or anything and at that age when you're not interested in someone you think no one should be, for some dumb reason.. But anyway I didn't want to lose my "friends" so I kind of rejected him. Like, I was still his friend and shit but when he asked me out I would always say no even tho I wanted to say yes, for like 2 years. Then I stopped talking to these girls and joined his group of friends. We would spend more time together and go to the same parties and we had movie nights with friends and we were always holding hands and cuddling and we hugged to say hello or goodbye (which, people don't really usually do where we live) and since his dad's house was close to my mom's he would walk me home after going out with the group and one night he said he had feelings for me. I didn't answer. All I wanted to say was that I had feelings for him too and I wanted to hug him and kiss him but I panicked. It was the end of the last school year and I failed my exams so everyone was leaving town but me, and my dad kept telling me that my friends would forger me because I failed so I thought he would. The next day one of our friends told me that he didn't want to talk to me anymore because he was upset, which wasn't true but I believed it so I respected his choice and didn't talk to him for a couple of weeks. Then we met at a party and he told me the dude lied. We stayed friends. He got a girlfriend in college whom he stayed with for 2 years. Then it didn't work out. We were still talking and seeing each other more often after he left her and we were starting to pick up old habits again like holding hands and standing so close to each other that everyone around thought we were going to kiss unto one day he just kissed me and at some point we got together FINALLY and now we're happy together and everything's great!

  16. B.... B....

    The song is genderneutral so I feel like commenting about my ships. But also a genderneutral lovesong is kinda rare so I feel this on a personal level...

  17. M.... M....

    I know ya'll are talking about Louis and Harry from 1D but what about Luke and Ashton from 5SOS?💙💚

  18. L.... ....

    I love a Man.....why all the gay posts?....this song is stunning in beauty...brought me to tears...💖😖💕

  19. M.... ....

    I'm in love with my friend and I hate it when she makes me feel speical because I'm always going to end up as another face in another croud of people

  20. r.... ....

    alright but this song perfectly made for jensoo [jennie & jisoo from blackpink]

    - they always sleep together any chance they get
    - jisoo said she has fulfilled her romantic dreams with jennie
    - jennie said that jisoo is the prettiest being in her eyes, "even her sitting looks perfect to me"
    - jennie stayed over at jisoo's house predebut and they went on dates taking polaroids and writing "100th day anniversary" and "forever & ever"
    - jisoo only has cried one time infront if everyone, and that was because jennie hurt her ankle
    - jennie expressing how she'll do anything for jisoo
    - jensoo saying that they're meant to be and are soulmates
    - jennie saying how she'd get distracted by jisoo's beauty
    - how they openly bought couple rings for each other
    - jennie's habit on always ending up sleeping in jisoo's bed


    I'VERAMBLEDENOUGH BUT THEY ARE THE DEFINATION OF MORE THEN FRIENDS ❤

    Way too many ‘Larry’ comments

  30. e.... r....

    kentell ship... ^-^

  31. G.... W....

    Nickiana xD 😄👭

  32. R.... ....

    Desperately in love with my best friend. We've kissed a few times, held hands and cuddled for hours. But it's because he's lonely ever since his girlfriend broke up with him and he's desperate to feel less lonely. By the looks of it kissing and cuddling me and one of my other friends seems like the way to go about it. The other girl doesn't care since she's not planning on dating him since she doesn't want to date either but God I'm so head over heels for him.
    I honestly just want to call him mine and not have him cuddle and kiss other girls. I just want him to myself and to be able to say "yes this is my boyfriend" instead of just hugging him every day in school and cuddling at his house as his best friend and apparently kiss buddy too FFS.
    He knows how much I want this relationship and feels guilty over my feelings it's just that he just can't date right now. I told him I'm fine with that and I'll always treasure being his friend than anything else and he did say we'll never be just friends we'll always be more than that. So hi Ed Sheeran song hehe

    R.... ....

    Ren same boat. I’ve known him since I was ten. He lives away from me but he flew to me last year to come to my prom and again this year to say goodbye to me to travel. He had a girlfriend and he admitted to me that when he was seeing me in my city he was the happiest he’d ever been with anyone. Kills me

    R.... ....

    @hetty t oh I'm so sorry. I definitely agree with the 'happiest you've ever been with someone' part. When I'm with Alex all I wanna do is just fucking stay around him. Like there's nowhere I rather be. it just sucks. Really. Sorry about your boy. Hope someone just as wonderful comes along soon

  33. H.... K....

    omg..... this song like about Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello))))

  34. A.... ....

    this is every closeted gay relationship

  35. H.... N....

    I met this girl, and immediately fell in love. She's amazing. But she lives hours away. I told her today, and this comment is sure to get lost. But for whoever reads this, and who actually cares, she likes me back. The only problem is that we both must have been through a tough long distance relationship before. We promised ourselves that we'd wait a while before dating again. We are going to remain best friends who text way too much, and see what our future decides for us. If we date then ok. If we don't, then we don't. But I'm ok with that, because she's still in my life.

  36. m.... m....

    Truth😎😍😘❤😙❤🎶🎧

  37. d.... k....

    What should we do...?

  38. Y.... A....

    Song taekook, the end

  39. c.... m....

    i have a “friend” who ik is in love with me. i’m doing something really mean to him, too. i’ve been leading him on like crazy. he’s a grade lower than me but 2 months younger and i just feel like i can’t be w him bc of that, like jts shameful. we’ve been sexting for weeks and he’s kinda exactly what i want in a guy...but it’s him. my friends have been telling me to stop and tell him that i don’t like him like he does to me, but i can’t see to do it. i just keep leading him on. maybe, i do actually like him. it is possible, i literally don’t know if i want him or not. i can never tell my friends this part though. i’m just scared of breaking his heart

    c.... m....

    You have to be really dumb to not be with non Just cause Is a grade lower than you

    c.... m....

    If I were in your position, I'd wait and see what your feelings grow to be. Keep talking to him, and see what happens. But if you don't like him in the end, I think you should tell him. The longer you lead him on, the worse it will hurt him. And don't be ashamed of someone's age. It's what he's like and how he treats you that matters. Hope that helped x

  40. T.... ....

    *larry intensifies*

  41. a.... ....

    My best friend and I are so united.
    He is ALWAYS giving hugs to me. He also hates that the people touch his hair, but he let me touch it. Sometimes we sit down together and he put his head over my legs. Seriously, I'm in fucking love with him...
    But he only see me like his bf..

    (Sorry if my English is so bad)

  63. a.... t....

    he said: larry rights

  64. T.... I....

    This makes me cry because my boyfriend recently died, and I remember sending this to him when we were best friends and he said that this song reminded him of us. It hurts, but it makes me smile.

  65. D.... ....

    Larry stylinson💚💙

  66. N.... V....

    I don't want to be one of those people but screw it. I found this amazing song because of Larry. I believe in it, not only vecause of ht way they act and all, but also because others act a certain way. For example, Ed had to say that this song was 'about 2 friends who fell in love and it's not gender specific'. I love this song a lot and if Larry IS real, which I think it is. I want them to be happy and I want them to be able to come out before it's too late. I don't care when they do it, Ijust hope they do it rather sooner than later. IF it's real. I love my Larents and Niall and Ed may be the biggest Larries ever but I would try to fight that if it was on me.

  67. C.... A....

    I'm in love with my best friend & i lost my virginity to her but she doesn't wanna be more than friends with benefits and its crushing my soul :( not just because of that but I'm almost 14 and I've love her since I turned 11

  68. V.... N....

    I really be out here crying to this song every night bc I'm fucking in love with my best friend I-
    It's really sad man

  69. V.... ....

    this song hits more when i’m in a fwb situation with one of my good friends 😩😩😩

  73. L.... ....

    Can someone pls explain what this song has to do with „Larry“?! Wth

    L.... ....

    Ed said this song is about his two friends who fell in love, not gender specific. The story in this song is like their love story. And if you don't know what Larry is, it's ship name for Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson, who we believe are together.💚💙🌈

  74. M.... F....

    Crying because of all the sad friends in love with their other friends. Stay strong everyone.

  75. A.... H....

    My nigga Ed sheeran out here saving us! Thanks

  76. i.... l....

    this lowkey cazzie's song though

  77. A.... S....

    Just a little reminder
    💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙

  78. L.... K....

    This sounds like the songtrack of that moment when the protagonist sleeps with his best friend, and at first they were thinking it was not a big deal, I mean, they were drunk, but then they realize: they are in love, and that would be good, but he, as the type that tries to shut down all of his feelings, decides to step away from her. It's kinda.. sad

  79. b.... ....

    im in love with my best friend and i don’t know if that’s the best thing or worst thing to happen to us and I pray to god it won’t lead to our end

  80. l.... e....

  81. D.... T....

    To everyone being fucked by their best friends. Lmao.

  82. W.... A....

    I'm in love with my friend with benefits.
    Nothing else to say.
    lmao

  83. W.... A....

    G.
    I miss you so fucking much, it really hurts.
    I remember what we said each other some time ago: just fun, just passion, no feelings.
    We agreed, and I enjoyed every moment I spent with you.
    But now, knowing that you're far away from me and you're with other people, other girls, well this hurts.
    Maybe I don't want just to have fun. Maybe I need you.
    And you'll never know it.
    Thanks for your attention, affection, kisses and everything.
    I love you.

    Just friends, maybe for you.

    Ed Sheeran ... is the . Best. Ever.

  92. l.... ....

    it screams larry stylinson as fuck

  93. L.... M....

    I used to listen to this song when I was around 9-10 because of Larry Stylinson/ One direction. Its been around 5-6 years since I've listened to this (grew out of 1D, became an emo lol). I myself am now in a situation the song describes. The song is just as amazing but man...it hits so different.

  94. e.... p....

    I relate to this song so much! If anyone needs to vent or talk about it, feel free to reply to my comment!
