Can we be friends 

The only sentence that can rip you, tear you, and kill you.

“Do you want to date? Can we be friends instead?”

can't we just be friends 

The kiss of death when a woman let's you know she has absolutely no romantic interest in you, that it's never going to happen with you.

I thought we had something together. But then she gave me the kiss of death! She said, can't we just be friends.

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!"

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.

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....

We can't be friends

And I won't ever have a relationship. But what these people are trying to turn that into is an overt form of of second class citizenry.

Hym "No we can't be friends. In the words of Arianna Grande "We can't be friends." Because the only reason were are lovers is the lack of a fat cock."
