Friend Zoned

You call me when you're broken, when you're lost in the night,

I pick up every time, say it’s gonna be alright.

You laugh at my jokes, you lean on my shoulder,

But I’m just a shadow while your heart grows colder.

I hear the way you talk about him,

Like he’s the sun and I’m the dim… light in the corner,

Fading out of view,

But if you only knew…

I don’t wanna be just another safe place,

Holding your hand while you dream of his face.

I bite my tongue, I fake my smile,

Dying inside but I wait awhile.

How can you be so close, but so far?

I’m in your world, but not in your heart…

I know all your secrets, I know what makes you cry,

He doesn’t even see you, but you still let him lie.

I’d tear down the sky just to make you see,

That I’d be everything you need me to be.

But you only chase the ones who leave,

While I just sit here and believe…

That someday you’ll turn around,

But I know better now…

I don’t wanna be just another safe place,

Holding your hand while you dream of his face.

I bite my tongue, I fake my smile,

Dying inside but I wait awhile.

How can you be so close, but so far?

I’m in your world, but not in your heart…

[Bridge – Soft, Then Explosive,

Softly]

Maybe I should walk away,

But you pull me back when you start to break…

AND I LET YOU! EVEN THOUGH I KNOW!

I’LL NEVER BE MORE THAN A GHOST IN YOUR SOUL!

I’m here, but you don’t see me…

I’m near, but you won’t need me…

Just a shadow… fading away…
