Just Friends

Verse 1)

We’ve shared a thousand laughs, walked a million miles

You’d light up the dark with your careless smile

You’d tell me your dreams, and I’d hold mine tight

'Cause mine all start with you every night

(Pre-Chorus)

You say, “You’re the best friend I’ve ever known”

And I smile while I die inside alone

(Chorus)

But I’m just a name you say when you need someone

Not the heart you’d run to when the day is done

I’m the shoulder you lean on, not the hand you hold

And the words in my chest are growing old

I love you more than you will ever see

But you and I… we’re just friends to be

(Verse 2)

I watched you fall for him, and I stayed right there

Hiding every crack in this heart I wear

You never asked why I never found "my one"

'Cause my one has been you all along

(Pre-Chorus)

I tried to tell you once, but I lost my nerve

Thought a friendship like this, you don't deserve to hurt

(Chorus)

But I’m just a name you say when you need someone

Not the heart you’d run to when the day is done

I’m the shoulder you lean on, not the hand you hold

And the words in my chest are growing old

I love you more than you will ever see

But you and I… we’re just friends to be

(Bridge)

So I’ll let you go, though it tears me apart

Hide the truth in the silence of my heart

You’ll never know, and that’s my choice

To drown my love in an unheard voice

(Final Chorus)

I was just the name you called when skies turned grey

Not the kiss that would’ve chased your fears away

I’m the past that never had its time

A quiet love lost in the rhyme

I’ll walk away so you can be free

'Cause you and I…

We were just friends to be
