Verse 1:
In the quiet of the night, I sit alone,
Thinking 'bout the times we’ve spent, the seeds we’ve sown.
Laughter echoes in my mind, but it’s so hard to say,
What’s hidden in my heart, I wish it’d just give way.
Chorus:
Is it wrong to love a friend?
To feel this way and not pretend?
Every glance, every smile,
It’s been building up for a while.
I want to tell you, but I’m scared to lose,
This precious bond, oh, what do I choose?
Verse 2:
Late night talks, our secrets bare,
But the truth I hold, I’m afraid to share.
What if it breaks the trust we've made?
What if the colors start to fade?
Chorus:
Is it wrong to love a friend?
To feel this way and not pretend?
Every glance, every smile,
It’s been building up for a while.
I want to tell you, but I’m scared to lose,
This precious bond, oh, what do I choose?
Bridge:
Oh, can we stay in this safe space,
Where friends don’t fear to show their face?
But deep inside I wish you knew,
That my heart beats only for you.
Verse 3:
But I don’t want to ruin what we’ve built,
These memories so sweet, it's the finest quilt.
Yet every heartbeat whispers in the dark,
What if love is just a spark?
Chorus:
Is it wrong to love a friend?
To feel this way and not pretend?
Every glance, every smile,
It’s been building up for a while.
I want to tell you, but I’m scared to lose,
This precious bond, oh, what do I choose?
Outro:
So I’ll hold it close, this secret of mine,
In hopes one day, you’ll read the signs.
But until then, I’ll just pretend,
Hiding in the shadows of love for a friend.
