A heartfelt R&B song from the perspective of a 14-year-old boy who has loved his best friend since 4th grade but grapples with the pain of watching her fall for someone else.
(Verse 1)
We were just kids, runnin' on the playground,
Yeah, you’d laugh at my jokes, you were my favorite sound.
Holding hands in class, talkin' ‘bout dreams,
But now I sit back, and it’s not what it seems.
(Chorus)
We talk a little, yeah, we’re close, it’s true,
But you picked him, girl, what am I supposed to do?
We’re laughing and sharing, but it’s killing me deep,
You don't see me, girl, I’m falling while you sleep.
(Verse 2)
After school, we chill, I can’t help but sigh,
You say he’s so cool, and I just wonder why.
Spent all those years, and I thought I was clear,
But now you’re lost in his eyes, girl, it’s hard to bear.
(Chorus)
We talk a little, yeah, we’re close, it’s true,
But you picked him, girl, what am I supposed to do?
We’re laughing and sharing, but it’s killing me deep,
You don't see me, girl, I’m falling while you sleep.
(Bridge)
Late-night texts, and I hope you can see,
I’m more than just friends, maybe it’s meant to be.
You’re my best friend, but I wish you could know,
I’m hiding this love, but it’s starting to show.
(Chorus)
We talk a little, yeah, we’re close, it’s true,
But you picked him, girl, what am I supposed to do?
We’re laughing and sharing, but it’s killing me deep,
You don't see me, girl, I’m falling while you sleep.
(Outro)
Yeah, I’ll still be here, cheering you on,
Even while I’m wishing that our love could be strong.
Caught up in this friendzone, it’s hard to let go,
But I’ll keep holding on, just so you know.
