FriendZone
Thoughts on How I Put Him There
To the nice guy, who thinks I paint the sky
Sometimes rainbows are even lackluster
When you think of how they’re caused by rainstorms
Kids jump in puddles for the thrill of it
But it soaks your shoes for the rest of the day
And I get that you think you want me, hell I understand it if you think that you love me
Because I’m funny, easy to communicate with
And you won’t have to worry if I’ll ever ask for shit
Because my confidence is like a beaten down gravel path
I hold it together but if you look close enough you see the cracks
Like letting random guys in when it’s never going to last
And pushing boys like you away, because I’m scared of guys who like me
I’m scared that you want me, and I know you find me endearing
That the friend zone you perpetuate is just a feeling
Something you can push through until eventually I want you
But even though your eyes look like little tiny moons
Every time I step in the room, your mood elates as if you have something to prove
But I just can’t take Any step towards you
Because eventually if I do, you’ll decide you don’t love me
I know it’s true, I know what’ll transpire between me and you
I’ll return your feelings and you’ll run once you’re capable of seeing the truth
I’m not what you crack me up to be
I’m the ostrich egg that’s hard to hatch but when you do you’ll understand
The inside of me is just like all the other girls before me
It’s hopeless goo that falls for you until you desert me
I wish it wasn’t true but when it comes to me and you
The length of my arms is the closest you’ll come to seeing if you can hurt me
And it’s not that I treat you different than the other guys who bruise me
But if I fell for you, you’d try, it’s true
But in the end you’ll just pretend you never knew me
And you’ll move on, and that’s cool
but those other guys who leave me bruised
The ones you whisper that you’ll mend the wounds
Where will you be when you take a stab at me and then I’m broken with nobody to revive me
Nobody will be there to patch my skin
Nobody will be there to love me when the other men didn’t
You can’t expect me to give up my comfort and sanity in you
Nice guy, I just can’t do this with you
