Something I don’t like

You said you met someone last week
Said it like it’s no big thing
I laughed, said “that’s good for you”
Like I’m supposed to do

You showed me pictures on your phone
I leaned in like it’s nothing wrong
But something twisted in my chest
And I don’t know what that is yet

⸻

Pre-Chorus
It’s not my place, it’s not my call
So why do I feel this at all?

⸻

Chorus
I don’t like the way he says your name
Or how you smile when he looks your way
I don’t like the way you light up
When you talk about him like that

And I don’t know why it gets to me
It shouldn’t mean anything
You’re just my friend, that’s all it is
So why does it feel like this?

⸻

Verse 2
You cancel plans, say you’re with him
And I just say “yeah, that’s fine” again
But I keep checking my phone all night
Like you might change your mind

And it’s stupid, I don’t get it
Why it’s stuck inside my head like this
I’ve never cared this much before
About who you’re going home with

⸻

Pre-Chorus
I tell myself I’m overthinking
But I can’t stop the feeling

⸻

Chorus
I don’t like the way he holds your hand
Like he gets something I don’t understand
I don’t like the way you look at him
Like he’s someone I’m not

And I don’t know why it hits so deep
Or why I can’t just let it be
You’re just my friend, that’s all you’ve been
So why does it feel like this?

⸻

Bridge (realization starting to crack through)
Maybe it’s not about him
Maybe it’s something I missed
Maybe it’s every little thing
I never let myself admit

⸻

Final Chorus (realization hits)
I don’t like the way you’re not with me
Or how he gets what used to be
Late nights, long talks, everything
I thought was just “us being us”

And now I see what this has been
It was never just a friend
I just didn’t know what it was
Till I had to watch you love someone else instead
