We laugh like lovers, but we say we're friends
Why does it feel like more in the end?
You text at midnight, just to hear me breathe
I say “goodnight,” but you never leave
We share the songs, we share the skies
But we don’t dare look in each other's eyes
Everyone asks if there's something real
But we dodge the truth we both can feel
Friend, but sweet as love
Like stars we’re just close enough
You hold my hand like it’s just a game
But my heart keeps whispering your name
It’s not a crush, not a phase
We’re dancing in a love we won’t say
Friend… but sweet as love
And maybe that’s just not enough
We share a couch like it’s a bed
Shoulder to shoulder, thoughts unsaid
You know my past, you know my dreams
But you keep us in the in-between
I feel the spark when your hand’s near mine
But we both pretend we’re drawing a line
Friend, but sweet as love
Like stars we’re just close enough
You hold my hand like it’s just a game
But my heart keeps whispering your name
It’s not a crush, not a phase
We’re dancing in a love we won’t say
Friend… but sweet as love
And maybe that’s just not enough
What if we kissed — would it all fall apart?
Or would we find what we’ve felt from the start?
Friend, but sweet as love
Like stars that burn but never touch
You call me “best,” I smile and bluff
But deep inside, it’s more than enough
It’s not a crush, it’s not pretend
I want you more than just a friend
Friend… but sweet as love
Let’s call it what we’re dreaming of
Friend…
Or maybe love…
