We talk every night like it’s nothing
You laugh, I melt—then you change the subject
You ask me for “boy advice”
And I nod like, “yeah, that’s fine…”
Do I have a sign on my head
That says “just be her best friend”?
'Cause I swear I drop every hint
And you just smile like I didn’t
Why do you only see me like this?
Like I’m safe, like I’m sweet, like I’m easy to miss
I’m right here burning in my skin
You hug me tight, then ask where “he’s” been
God, are you blind or just pretending?
I don’t wanna be your happy ending’s friend
Please tell me you see me
More than just… this
You tell me I’m “the nicest guy”
And I smile like I wanna die
You say, “I wish more guys were like you”
Then why am I not the one for you?
I know it’s not your fault
But it feels like mine
For thinking I could matter
Outside your lines
Why do you only see me like this?
Like a page in a book you always skip
I’m right here, screaming in my chest
But to you, I’m just “the best”
God, are you blind or just pretending?
I don’t wanna be your happy ending’s friend
Please tell me you see me
More than just… this
I’m tired of waiting for a sign
That’ll never come from your side
You hold my hand like it means “nothing”
While I hold my breath like it means everything
Why can’t you see me like I do you?
Why am I the one you always talk through?
You say “I love you” like it’s safe
But not the way I need it to break
I’m done being soft and pretending
I’m not your happy ending’s friend
Please… just see me
More than just… this
