thing is she meant she meant nothing to

our relationship

relationship to jeopardize I thought we

were broken up we were on a break but

for all I knew what could last forever

that to me is a break up you think

ran all over the place trying to make

sure that didn't happen

over again

you know what I think we can go out

there I mean they have more important

things to worry about yeah we'll be fine

thought I should I did and then Chandler

and Joey convinced me not to

[Music]

wax the door shut we're never leaving up

[Music]
