Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We’ve been talking late until the sun comes up
Pouring feelings into this overflowing cup
You seem so happy, you’re laughing again
I start to think, maybe I’m more than just a friend
The signals are blurry, but I want to believe
That there’s a space for me in the air that you breathe
My palms are sweating, heart beating out my chest
It’s time to put this long-term secret to the test.
[Pre-Chorus]
I take a breath, I look you in the eye
I’m terrified, I won’t even deny
But hiding this is hurting me more
So I lay it all out, right here on the floor.
[Chorus]
I said, "I love you, and I always have"
Waited for a smile, or maybe a laugh
But the room went quiet, the air turned cold
The silence was the loudest story ever told
You looked away, you shifted in your seat
My world just crumbled right beneath my feet
"I don’t see you that way," was all you said
And just like that, the hope I had was dead.
[Verse 2]
I tried to laugh it off, tried to save the vibe
"Just forget I said it," a desperate bribe
I asked, "Can we be friends? Like we were before?"
You nodded your head, looking at the door
But I saw the shift, the wall going up
You drank the last drop from your coffee cup
"I have to go," you said, and walked away
Leaving me standing in the ruins of today.
[Chorus]
I said, "I love you, and I always have"
Waited for a smile, or maybe a laugh
But the room went quiet, the air turned cold
The silence was the loudest story ever told
You looked away, you shifted in your seat
My world just crumbled right beneath my feet
"I don’t see you that way," was all you said
And just like that, the hope I had was dead.
[Bridge]
I shouldn't have said it, I shouldn't have crossed the line
I ruined the only thing that made me fine
Now I’ve lost the lover I never really had
And lost the best friend... god, it hurts so bad.
[Outro]
Please don't change.
Please don't leave.
Just pretend I didn't say it.
Please.
