I know we're just friends

Despite all the flirting

I truly have friend expectations

But those can be higher

Than those of a lover

In so many ways

With lovers you know

That one day they will leave you

But friends you rely on

To be there the rest of your life

 

I can't really say

That you did anything wrong

It's fairer to say

You just didn't do enough right

I wouldn't say

That I feel broken hearted

It's fairer to say

That I feel discarded

And looking at you

Just makes me feel worthless and small

 

I know that I've set

The bar pretty high

When I say that I want

What I'd do for you

And so I'm not mad

When that doesn't happen

But it hurts all the same

To think you feel less than I do

I'm not going away

I just can't face you right now

 

I can't really say

That you did anything wrong

It's fairer to say

You just didn't do enough right

I wouldn't say

That I feel broken hearted

It's fairer to say

That I feel discarded

And looking at you

Just makes me feel worthless and small

 

It's not your job

To shield or protect me

And yet all the same

I want you to want to

I know it seems strange

But it's just what I'm feeling

And I know deep inside

It's what I'd do for you

I just want to feel

I can count you all of the time

 

I can't really say

That you did anything wrong

It's fairer to say

You just didn't do enough right

I wouldn't say

That I feel broken hearted

It's fairer to say

That I feel discarded

And looking at you

Just makes me feel worthless and small
