Hey there friend, I've known you so long
In your eyes I find where I belong
But when I speak, the air feels cold
You smile, but your words are bold
I love you, but it ain't that way
Still, by your side, I choose to stay
Oh, I'm deep in the friend zone,
Heartaches, but I'm not alone
Your love's a mystery,
I wish you'd see in me
The journey we've travelled, laughs we've shared
Every secret, every dream we dared
Yet when I reach, you pull away
Just hear my heart, let me say
But if friendship's all you can give,
I'll cherish every moment that we live
Oh, I'm deep in the friend zone,
Heartaches, but I'm not alone
Your love's a mystery,
I wish you'd see in me
In the silence, your truth rings clear
Lost in these moments I hold dear
In your shadow, I find my light
One day you'll see I'm right
Oh, I'm deep in the friend zone,
Heartaches, but I'm not alone
Your love's a mystery,
I wish you'd see in me
