Lyrics
Verse 1
You’re looking past me, eyes so far away,
Chasing a dream I’m not part of today.
I’m just the one who’s always around,
But never the one your heart has found.
Chorus
I’m just a friend, and you made it clear,
But every word you say cuts like a spear.
I see her smile, it’s tearing me apart,
While you’re holding her, you’re breaking my heart.
Verse 2
I stand in shadows while you shine in her light,
Pretending I’m fine when I cry every night.
You don’t even see how my world revolves,
Around a love that’ll never evolve.
Chorus
I’m just a friend, and you made it clear,
But every word you say cuts like a spear.
I see her smile, it’s tearing me apart,
While you’re holding her, you’re breaking my heart.
Bridge
If only you knew, if only you’d see,
The way that my soul aches silently.
But I’ll stay quiet, I’ll play my role,
Even as loving you takes its toll.
Chorus
I’m just a friend, and you made it clear,
But every word you say cuts like a spear.
I see her smile, it’s tearing me apart,
While you’re holding her, you’re breaking my heart.
Outro
And so I’ll be here, as I’ve always been,
A silent shadow where your light begins.
But deep down I know, I’ll never be,
More than a friend in your story.
