Thank God we didn't tell our friends
How embarrassing that would have been
Them acting like referees, watching us
At parties under a microscope lens
I'm already stressed that you're in the room
I can't look you in the eye, do they see it too?
I can't be normal with you
It ain't what it was, but it is what it is
It's the end of an era, love as good as it gets
Well, I learned from my father you can't tread on
Water, can't be friends and lovers and friends
Once you burn that bridge, you can't go back again
Thank God I didn't tell my mother
I could just picture the call
She'd bring your name up, hear my voice
Tear up and say she never liked you at all
Even if it wasn't your fault
Still, it ain't what it was, but it is what it is
It's the end of an era, love as good as it gets
Well, I learned from my father you can't tread on
Water, can't be friends and lovers and friends
Once you burn that bridge, you can't go back when we were stupid
Back when we ruined five years with a five-second kiss
From friends to lovers, to I may never see you again
It ain't what it was, but it is what it is
It's the end of an era that I can't get back again
Well, I learned from my father you can't tread on
Water, can't be friends and lovers and friends
When you burn that bridge, you can't go back again
You can't go back
I can't go back again
