“Do You Wanna Be Friends?” / newly unrequited Lyrics by Leanna Firestone

forward / slash

2021

“Do you wanna be friends?”
I mean I wanna be more
But if friends is how I get to have you, then sure
I’ll be quiet in my pining
I won’t tell you about the pain
I’ll be silent in the night when I know that you’re asleep
But I wanna ask you if you’re awake
And so we’ll be friends
And I’ll be okay
The world won’t end If you don’t love me
Even if it feels that way
I’ll be quiet in my pining
I won’t tell you about the pain
I’ll be silent in the night when all I wanna do is tell you
How pretty I thought you looked today
I don’t know wherе the line is
So I’ll stay on my side еven when you’re not on yours
I’ll tread lightly
In case I might be breaking a boundary
We used to break before
And so I’ll be your best friend
Simple as that
And when you play pretend
That things are the way they were
I won’t flirt back
No, I’ll be quiet in my pining
I won’t tell you about the pain
I’ll be silent in the night when you text me
And ask, “Hey, are you awake?”
I know I said we could be friends
I'm sorry I went back on my word
But please know I did try
I just hadn't realized
How bad seeing you be fine without me was going to hurt
I was devastated, it was humiliating
Because you never owed me anything
Much less reciprocation
Love newly unrequited
It made me villanize you
I was so hurt
It was easier to be angry than to be sad
So we can't be friends
But not because I don't like you
We can't be friends
Because of how much I do
