Just a friend

Verse 1

We laugh like we’ve known each other forever,

Inside jokes, late nights, stitched together.

You call me when the world’s too loud,

I hear your voice and it all slows down.

You tell me who broke your heart again,

I nod, but I wish it wasn’t him.

I play my part, I stay in line,

Hide the truth I feel every time.

Pre-Chorus

I’m right here, but I’m not the one,

Close enough to feel it, too far to touch.

Chorus

I’m just your friend, but I want more,

I feel it every time you walk through the door.

I hold my breath when you say his name,

Smile through the ache, pretend I’m okay.

If love’s a line, I’m stuck in between,

Being your friend, wishing I was your everything.

Verse 2

We sit in your car with the engine off,

Talking ‘bout dreams that feel so close.

Your hand brushes mine by accident,

And my heart acts like it’s on purpose then.

You say, “You’re the one who knows me best,”

That sentence hits harder than all the rest.

‘Cause I do, and I always will,

But knowing you isn’t loving you still.

Pre-Chorus

I’m right here, but I’m not the one,

Close enough to feel it, too far to touch.

Chorus

I’m just your friend, but I want more,

I feel it every time you walk through the door.

I hold my breath when you say his name,

Smile through the ache, pretend I’m okay.

If love’s a line, I’m stuck in between,

Being your friend, wishing I was your everything.

Bridge

Maybe one day you’ll see me different,

Or maybe this is all I’ll ever get.

I’m scared to lose you if I speak,

So I keep loving you quietly.

Final Chorus

I’m just your friend, but I want more,

I feel it every time you walk through the door.

I hold my breath when you say his name,

Smile through the ache, pretend I’m okay.

If love’s a line, I’m stuck in between,

Being your friend, wishing I was your everything.
