Friend Is A Four Letter Word -- Cake

to me, coming from you, friend is a four letter word.
end is the only part of the word that i heard.
call me morbid or absurd. but to me, coming from you,
friend is a four letter word. 

when I go fishing for the words i am wishing you would say to me,
i'm really only praying that the words you'll soon be saying
might betray the way you feel about me. 
but to me, coming from you,  friend is a four letter word. 

This song is about a girl who breaks up with a guys by telling him they should be "Friends." This is not what he wants to hear, and to his ears, and the resulting heartbreak makes him think of the word "Friend" as dirty and cruel - similar to many vulgar 4-letter words in the English language.
