It's not that I don't like you
Because believe me, I love you
It's just that you and me are nothing more than friends
And friendship never ends
It's not really all that bad
I don't need what I used to have
Well, now you're here and that should be enough
But I've had it up to here with love
Don't you see me standing there?
Do you notice, do you care?
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
Then I'd have an excuse for being miserable
Should I just let you go, walk away from everything?
I shouldn't want you like I want you
You shouldn't mean this much to me
Pretend what I've spoken is a lie
Pretend all I've done was made you cry
Don't look at me because your stares, they burn
Don't speak to me because I crumble with each word
I'm afraid if I open my eyes, my world will fall apart
I'm afraid if I stop holding on, I'll let go of my heart
