It was sunset when we took a walk
I shook when she said, "We need to talk"
I stood stock still when she started
She said, "Don't be sad or broken-hearted
You know that I love you as a friend
That is something that will never end
But, I need space, and time to grow
To spread my wings, and let love flow"
She said, "You're my rock, my shoulder to cry on,
But love's a tricky thing, and I'm just not drawn.
You're my best friend, the one I count on,"
And now I sing this friend zone blues song.
I called her up on the telephone
She says "Hey sweetie, hope you're not alone"
I take her out for a night on the town
But she just laughs and then lets me down
She said, "You're my rock, my shoulder to cry on,
But love's a tricky thing, and I'm just not drawn.
You're my best friend, the one I count on,"
And now I sing this friend zone blues song.
I try to hide my feelings, keep them inside,
But every time I see her, it's a wild ride.
She talks about guys, like it's no big deal,
While I'm stuck here wondering, is this even real?
I see her with yet another man
He's holding her close, I can't understand
I'm stuck in this limbo, can't break free
Oh, woman, why can't you see me?
She said, "You're my rock, my shoulder to cry on,
But love's a tricky thing, and I'm just not drawn.
You're my best friend, that's where you belong,"
And now I sing this friend zone blues song.
So I'll keep on playing this losing game
Hoping one day, she'll see me the same
But until then, I'll just be her best friend
Living in this dreaded friend zone, 'til the end
She said, "You're my rock, my shoulder to cry on,
But love's a tricky thing, and I'm just not drawn.
You're my best friend and that won't change"
