Don’t Call Me Just a Friend

Verse 1
You say my name like it’s nothing special,
Like I’m just air in the room you’re in
But I memorize every detail
Like the way you always lean in

I laugh at your jokes like it’s easy
Like my heart doesn’t skip a beat
But I go home and it hits me
You’re everything I can’t reach

Pre-Chorus
And I tell myself to be patient
But patience is wearing thin

Chorus
If I’m just a friend, why does it hurt like this?
Why does your goodbye feel like a stolen kiss
I try to stay quiet, stay out of the way
But I fall for you more every day
Don’t look at me like I don’t exist
If I’m just a friend, why does it hurt like this?

Verse 2
You talk about her like a story
That I’m supposed to sit and hear
And I smile like I’m not falling apart
While you’re so painfully near

I know I should want something easy
Someone who sees me right away
But my heart keeps choosing the chaos
Of hoping you might one day stay

Pre-Chorus
And I’m tired of pretending
That I don’t feel too much again

Chorus
If I’m just a friend, why does it hurt like this?
Why does your voice feel like something I miss
Even when you’re standing right here next to me
You’re so close, but not where I need
Don’t call it simple, don’t call it harmless
If I’m just a friend, why does it hurt like this?

Bridge
Maybe I should let you go gently
Unlearn the way I wait for you
But every time I try to leave it
You do something I can’t undo

Like a glance that lingers too softly
Like a touch that almost stays
And I’m trapped in the space between us
Where I never get to say

Final Chorus
If I’m just a friend, why does it hurt like this?
Why does my heart not know how to quit
I don’t want to lose you, but I can’t pretend
That “just a friend” is where this ends
If I finally speak, if I risk that twist
Will you still look at me like this… or dismiss?

Outro
Don’t call me just a friend…
When it hurts like this.
