Verse 1:
He walks me to my locker every day
Carries all my books along the way
Makes me laugh when I'm feeling down
But there's something in his eyes I've found
The way he looks at me, it's so obvious
Heart written on his sleeve, so serious
But I don't want to hurt what we have built
These feelings that he's caught, I don't share the guilt
Chorus:
We're just friends, that's all we'll ever be
I can't pretend to feel what I don't see
He's hoping for much more than I can give
But in this friendship zone is where we'll live
Just friends, just friends
That's where this story ends
Verse 2:
He remembers every word I say
Texts me good morning every day
Shows up when I need him most
But I can't love the one who loves me close
I see him trying hard to hide the pain
When I talk about other guys again
I wish I could return what he feels for me
But forcing love's not who I want to be
Chorus:
We're just friends, that's all we'll ever be
I can't pretend to feel what I don't see
He's hoping for much more than I can give
But in this friendship zone is where we'll live
Just friends, just friends
That's where this story ends
Bridge:
Maybe someday he'll understand
That friendship's not a consolation prize
It's something real that I won't compromise
Even though it's not what he had planned
His love's obvious, but mine's not there
I won't pretend just to be fair
Real friends don't lie about their heart
Even when it tears us apart
Final Chorus:
We're just friends, that's all we'll ever be
I can't pretend to feel what I don't see
He deserves someone who loves him true
Not someone who's just trying to make do
Just friends, just friends
That's where this story ends
Just friends, just friends
But friendship never really ends
