Best Friend, Worst Timing

Sat behind you in homeroom

Drew your name in the notebook margin

You were talking about your crushes

I was laughing but my chest was burning

Watched the sunrise on your small screen

Blue hair

Big eyes

Our favorite ending

You said

"Love like that ain't real"

I just nodded

Yeah

Pretending

You’re my anime love in a messed-up world

Best friend

Worst timing

Twisted-heart girl

I cheer for you like the hero does

While you fall for everyone but us

If this is all that we ever are

I’ll still stand right here in your closing arc

You’re my anime love

My secret curse

Best friend

Worst timing

It’s getting worse

Every weekend on your bedroom floor

Posters peeling

Speakers shaking

You were crying over someone

I was dying just to say you’re chasing fakes again

You said

"Why can’t I be enough?"

Mascara streaks on your hoodie sleeve

I almost told you

Almost broke

Then swallowed it so you could breathe

You’re my anime love in a messed-up world

Best friend

Worst timing

Twisted-heart girl

I cheer for you like the hero does

While you fall for everyone but us

If this is all that we ever are

I’ll still stand right here in your closing arc

You’re my anime love

My secret curse

Best friend

Worst timing

It’s getting worse

One more late-night episode

One more rerun of this show

Do I stay your sidekick

Quiet?

Or wreck it all

Start a riot? (hey!)

If I shout it in the dark

Would it glitch and break your heart?

Or would you say you always knew

Roll the credits

Fade to you

You’re my anime love in a messed-up world

Best friend

Worst timing

Twisted-heart girl

I cheer for you like the hero does

While you fall for everyone but us

If this is all that we ever are

I’ll still stand right here in your closing arc

You’re my anime love

My final verse

Best friend

Worst timing

Best friend

Worst timing

Best friend

Worst timing

It’s getting worse
