We're just friends

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
