Close Friend

Time alone with you is different for me

I'm taking notes like I'm studying

Repeating jokes just to see if I can make you laugh again

I'll do anything

Time away from you hits different for me

Checking my phone I know I'm obvious

Re-reading what I wrote just to make sure that I'm making sense

I could say anything

Oh you're not even trying

Oh and I'm dying

I know I'm never gonna be an option

The closest I can be is a close friend

Oh you're not even trying

Oh and I'm dying

It's killing me knowing it's a dead end

I'd kill to be closer than a close friend

Obsessed with anything to do with us

The thought alone is kinda dangerous

Rushing ahead even though I know that I'm holding back

Wish I could tell you that

I like you so much it hurts

I'm hanging off of every word

And if i had the nerve I'd try

To be the one that you deserve

Instead of watching you get hurt

While I'm sitting on the sidelines

Oh you're not even trying

Oh and I'm dying

I know I'm never gonna be an option

The closest I can be is a close friend

Oh you're not even trying

Oh and I'm dying

It's killing me knowing it's a dead end

I'd kill to be closer than a close friend

(You're not even trying, I'm dying)

I can't compete with these thoughts I ignore

Call you the exception like your paramour

(You're not even trying, I'm dying)

Call it unrequited if that's all we are

There's no denying, I knew from the start that

Oh you're not even trying

Oh and I'm dying

I know I'm never gonna be an option

The closest I can be is a close friend

Oh you're not even trying

Oh and I'm dying

It's killing me knowing it's a dead end

I'd kill to be closer than a close friend
