We can still be friends

Something that two people in a relationship say after they break up.

This rarely even happens, saying it is just a formality. Sorry.

Jeremy: I'm sorry, but it's not working out anymore. We can still be friends tho.
Madeline: Yeah, sure, I'd love that.

We can still be friends

5 five words that are impossible to accomplish. Just a nice way of saying: “your clingy so we can still talk once a year”

Guy: “Hey this isn’t working, but we can still be friends”
Girl: “yeah that’d be great”
*guy to self: not gonna he friends*
*girl to self: friends? Seriously? How dumb does he think I am?*

We can still be friends

Something one says when dumping their partner, but this is unlikely to happen unless the couple has kids or owns a business together.

My ex: Everything can be like before. We can still be friends. I don't want to lose you altogether.

Me: Nah fuck you, I don't keep friendships after relationships. I'm not that forgiving, sorry....

It's Cool We Can still be friends

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Ever, truely.
Written by conor oberst, of bright eyes.

"And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer. Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, let's contrast and compare...lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there. I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies...
...Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies, & I see through them all the time...
...I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk, that I pass out, & forget your face, by the time I wake up..."

Kid 1: "Have you heard that beautiful song by Conor Oberst"
Kid 2: "But there are so many!"
Kid 1: "One of the most beautiful"
Kid 2: "Oooh, It's Cool We Can still be friends!"
