[Verse 1]
I’ve tried
To not get my hopes up
But it only feels strange
In love with someone I know
Got drunk and told another
Now I’m scared
That maybe my friends know
And I’m just a clown
So sick of the lies
And smiles
And fake goodbyes
Just waiting to hear you say

[Pre-chorus]
“I heard a secret about you”
“Still tryna figure out if it’s true”
“I’ll try”
“So hard”
“To understand”
“You can tell me anything now”
“We’ve been friends for just a few months”
Well it’s hard
To show this side
Of myself

[Chorus]
But I don’t wanna be lonely
If only for a day
But when I try to get closer
You look the other way

[Verse 2]
Well I’m
Too scared to tell you
I know what you’d say
That I’m just “a friend to you, okay”
And you don’t see me “any other way”
So I’m hiding my feelings
Wish I could come clean
But each time it plays inside my head
It always goes a little something like this

[Pre-chorus]
You no longer invite me over
We don’t even go out with friends now
It’s hard
To know that I could fuck things up
I’d be wishing that we could go back to
Right before I opened up to you
That’s why
I’m keeping it all
To myself

[Chorus]
But I don’t wanna be lonely
If only for a day
But when I try to get closer
You look the other way

[Solo]

[Pre-chorus]
You might wonder why I won’t tell you
So complicated, it feels untrue
That’s why
I wrote this song
To share with you
And if you don’t think it’s about you
You should pay close attention to how I
Look into your eyes

[Chorus]
But I don’t wanna be lonely
If only for a day
But when I try to get closer
You look the other way
