“Do You Wanna Be Friends?” / newly unrequited
"Do you wanna be friends?"
I mean I wanna be more
But if "friends" is how I get to have you
Then sure
I'll be quiet in my pining
I won't tell you about the pain
I'll be silent in the night
When I know that you're asleep
But I wanna ask you if you're awake
And so we'll be friends
And I'll be okay
The world won't end if you don't love me
Even if it feels that way
I'll be quiet in my pining
I won't tell you about the pain
I'll be silent in the night when
All I wanna do is tell you how pretty
I thought you looked today
I don't know where the line is so
I'll stay on my side even when you're not on yours
I'll tread lightly
In case I might be breaking a boundary
We used to break before
And so I'll be your best friend
Simple as that
And when you play pretend
That things are the way they were
I won't flirt back
No, I'll be quiet in my pining
I won't tell you about the pain
I'll be silent in the night when you text me and ask
"Hey. Are you awake?"
I know I said we could be friends
I'm sorry that I went back on my word
But please know I did try I hadn't realized
How bad seeing you be fine without me
was going to hurt
I was devastated
It was humiliating
Because you never owed me anything
Much less reciprocation
Love newly unrequited
It made me villainize you
I was so hurt
It was easier to be angry than to be sad
So we can't be friends... but not because I don't like you
We can't be friends because of how much I do
I mean I wanna be more
But if "friends" is how I get to have you
Then sure
I'll be quiet in my pining
I won't tell you about the pain
I'll be silent in the night
When I know that you're asleep
But I wanna ask you if you're awake
And so we'll be friends
And I'll be okay
The world won't end if you don't love me
Even if it feels that way
I'll be quiet in my pining
I won't tell you about the pain
I'll be silent in the night when
All I wanna do is tell you how pretty
I thought you looked today
I don't know where the line is so
I'll stay on my side even when you're not on yours
I'll tread lightly
In case I might be breaking a boundary
We used to break before
And so I'll be your best friend
Simple as that
And when you play pretend
That things are the way they were
I won't flirt back
No, I'll be quiet in my pining
I won't tell you about the pain
I'll be silent in the night when you text me and ask
"Hey. Are you awake?"
I know I said we could be friends
I'm sorry that I went back on my word
But please know I did try I hadn't realized
How bad seeing you be fine without me
was going to hurt
I was devastated
It was humiliating
Because you never owed me anything
Much less reciprocation
Love newly unrequited
It made me villainize you
I was so hurt
It was easier to be angry than to be sad
So we can't be friends... but not because I don't like you
We can't be friends because of how much I do
