Verse 1:
I asked you out, you said no
“Let’s be friends,” yeah, I let it go
Thought we were just playin’ a game
But now it feels like you’re changin’ the frame
Pre-Chorus:
For a month, I played the fool
Smilin’ while I break my own rules
Thought you were just playin’ hard to get
But now you tell me, it’s not a bet
Chorus:
You say no, I say okay
But my heart’s not lettin’ it fade away
Thought we had something, even pretend
Now you’re just tellin’ me, let’s be friends
Verse 2:
Late night talks, I held my tongue
Every joke, every laugh, every song we sung
I tried to read between your lines
But now I see, the love ain’t mine
Pre-Chorus:
For a month, I played the fool
Smilin’ while I break my own rules
Thought you were just playin’ hard to get
But now you tell me, it’s not a bet
Chorus:
You say no, I say okay
But my heart’s not lettin’ it fade away
Thought we had something, even pretend
Now you’re just tellin’ me, let’s be friends
Bridge:
Maybe someday you’ll see
What I felt, what I wanted, what you mean to me
But for now, I’ll let it go
Even if it hurts, I’ll take it slow
Chorus (Repeat):
You say no, I say okay
But my heart’s not lettin’ it fade away
Thought we had something, even pretend
Now you’re just tellin’ me, let’s be friends
