[Intro] You say “friend” like it settles things Like that word can keep us clean Then you lean in when the room gets loud And act surprised when I read between [Chorus] Don’t call it friendship when you hold me like that Don’t say “bestie” then pull me back You know what you’re doing, I know it too We keep saying “friends” like the word makes it true Don’t call it friendship when you stay all night Then leave at dawn like we did nothing right Baby, be honest, don’t dress it up If this is friendship, we’re bad at enough [Instrumental Transition] [Verse 1] You stole my hoodie back in June Still got it folded in your room You text “you up?” at half past two Then blame the weather when I come through You talk about the guys you meet Then watch my face across the seat I laugh it off, you change the song Both of us know what’s going on You say, “Don’t make it weird tonight” I say, “You started this last time” You roll your eyes, I let it slide Same old dance, different lie [Pre-Chorus] You draw the line Then cross it first Say “it’s nothing” Make it worse [Chorus] Don’t call it friendship when you hold me like that Don’t say “bestie” then pull me back You know what you’re doing, I know it too We keep saying “friends” like the word makes it true Don’t call it friendship when you stay all night Then leave at dawn like we did nothing right Baby, be honest, don’t dress it up If this is friendship, we’re bad at enough [Verse 2] Your friends all laugh when I walk in Mine just grin and let me sit You tell them, “Nothing’s going on” Then move your chair beside my one You know my coffee, I know your route Know when you’re mad before you speak it out You hate my shirts, I hate your shoes Funny how much “friends” get to choose Last week you said, “Don’t catch feelings” Then got jealous for no reason I asked, “So what are we doing here?” You said, “Don’t ruin a good evening.” [Instrumental transition] [Bridge] Maybe we like the middle ground Close enough, no naming it Maybe the label keeps us safe Maybe we’re just scared of changing it Maybe tomorrow we’ll laugh this off Maybe we won’t But tonight Don’t call me “friend” Then kiss me slow [Final Chorus] Don’t call it friendship when you hold me like that Don’t say “bestie” then pull me back You know what you’re doing, I know it too We keep saying “friends” like the word makes it true Don’t call it friendship when you stay all night Then leave at dawn like we did nothing right Baby, be honest, don’t dress it up If this is friendship, we’re bad at enough [Outro] “Still friends?” “…Sure.” “Liar.”
