pretending we're friends

(Fella who just won't stop texting me!)
(I could leave him on read for a month and he would still keep going on about how we're like)
(Besties or something and it's weird!)
(It's really really really weird!)
(I don't think there's a word for the emotion this guy gives me!)

(Micah Callari)

Need a reality check
Cuz it all feels unreal, everything that you said
And I won't mind if you say it again
Love the way that it feels when you talk in my head (Cool)

I'm obsessed with your words and your Insta too (Why)
Love you so much it hurts but that's nothing new (What)
They all say I'm disturbed but I think I'm cute (No)
And I'm always at my worst when I'm not with you (Yuh)

Been too long since I saw my star
Oh, I wonder why you refuse to reply
But I'll keep wishing from afar
So much time I spend pretending we're friends

I swear, I promise I'm not creepy
I could never lie about you making me cry
I just hope someday you could meet me
But for now, I'm pretending we're friends

(Okay, so clearly you've never heard of privacy)

I-I know your first name, I know your last name
I learned your middle name and still use your dead name
I'd call up your first flame and tell them to stay away
If you had asked, no questions asked, I would always take the blame

I would play the game for you if you were a beginner
You could be Linguini, me the rat, your ex Skinner
Cuz in my head, we went out for dinner
To score a night alone with you, I'd be more than a winner (Yuh)

Been too long since I saw my star
Oh, I wonder why you refuse to reply
But I'll keep wishing from afar
So much time I spend pretending we're friends

I swear, I promise I'm not creepy
I could never lie about you making me cry
I just hope someday you could meet me
But for now, I'm pretending we're friends

Treat you like Santa with your gifts in the back of your sleigh
Cuz I've been in a sleigh ride since you hit 10k
I watch you no matter the time of day
For once, could you acknowledge what I have to say
(I'm trying to be boring)

I don't believe it's obsessive to be possessive of you
I don't believe it's excessive to be aggressive to you
I don't believe that we've never been best friends
Cuz I don't believe I could lie to myself in my head

When will you be back home by
What are you doing and why
Why do you not go outside
Why are you afraid that you'd die

Been too long since I saw my star
Oh, I wonder why you refuse to reply
But I'll keep wishing from afar
So much time I spend pretending we're friends (Yuh)

I swear, I promise I'm not creepy
I could never lie about you making me cry
I just hope someday you could meet me
But for now, I'm pretending we're friends
