(Verse 1)
We’re sitting on the couch again, watching our shows
You’re talking 'bout your day, and how the story goes
You reach out, grab my hand to make a point about some fool
I’m acting casual, calm, conversational, cool
But every time you smile that way, the air leaves the room
I’m fighting back the things I wanna say to you
acting like your confidant, your safe and steady space
When I just want to trace the lines on your face.
(Chorus)
And oh, it’s a dangerous game
To love you like this and try to remain
Just a friend, only a friend
Hiding the fire, ignoring the rest
To want you, I need you, to fall off the edge
But I’ll keep walking on this thin little ledge
‘Cause I know if I speak, and I shatter and bend
I might lose the best thing that I ever met
Yeah, I’m fighting this love, like a war in my chest
Just to keep you, my friend, I will bury the rest.
(Verse 2)
You said, "You know me better than I know myself"
I hid the poems about you on the highest shelf
You trust me with your secrets, your heartbreak, and fears
I’m holding up your shoulder, soaking up the tears
And I’m tempted just to pull you in, to break the sacred rule
To show you what it’s like to be treated like a jewel
But then I’d lose the laughter, and I’d lose the late talks
I’d lose the happy silence of our long, quiet walks.
(Chorus)
And oh, it’s a dangerous game
To love you like this and try to remain
Just a friend, only a friend
Hiding the fire, ignoring the rest
To want you, I need you, to fall off the edge
But I’ll keep walking on this thin little ledge
‘Cause I know if I speak, and I shatter and bend
I might lose the best thing that I ever met
Yeah, I’m fighting this love, like a war in my chest
Just to keep you, my friend, I will bury the rest.
(Bridge)
I’m breaking my own heart to save what we need
I’m acting like I don’t know what you mean to me
Is it better to have you, but only as a friend?
Or to lose you completely, if I try to take your hand?
The choice is mine, I’ll hold the line.
(Breakdown)
(Chorus)
And oh, it’s a dangerous game
To love you like this and try to remain
Just a friend, only a friend
Hiding the fire, ignoring the rest
To want you, I need you, to fall off the edge
But I’ll keep walking on this thin little ledge
‘Cause I know if I speak, and I shatter and bend
I might lose the best thing that I ever met
Yeah, I’m fighting this love, like a war in my chest
Just to keep you, my friend, I will bury the rest.
Yeah, I’ll bury the rest.
Keep it hidden in my chest.
Trust me …
It’s for the best
