Close Friend Lyrics by PEPTALK

Dumb Teen Heartache - EP

2023

[VERSE]
Time alone with you is different for me
I'm taking notes like I'm studying
Repeating jokes just to see if I can make you laugh again
I'll do anything

Time away from you hits different for me
Checking my phone I know I'm obvious
Re-reading what I wrote just to make sure that I'm making sense
I could say anything

[Chorus]
Oh you're not even trying
Oh and I'm dying
I know I'm never gonna be an option
The closest I can be is a close friend

Oh you're not even trying
Oh and I'm dying
It's killing me knowing it's a dead end
I'd kill to be closer than a close friend

[VERSE]
Obsessed with anything to do with us
The thought alone is kinda dangerous
Rushing ahead even though I know that I'm holding back
Wish I could tell you that

I like you so much it hurts, I'm hanging off of every word
And if I had the nerve I'd try
To be the one that you deserve, instead of watching you get hurt
While I'm sitting on the sidelines

[Chorus]
Oh you're not even trying
Oh and I'm dying
I know I'm never gonna be an option
The closest I can be is a close friend

Oh you're not even trying
Oh and I'm dying
It's killing me knowing it's a dead end
I'd kill to be closer than a close friend

[BRIDGE]
(You're not even trying, I'm dying)
I can't compete with these thoughts I ignore
Call the exception like your Paramore
(You're not even trying, I'm dying)
Call it unrequited if that's all we are
There's no denying, I know from the start that

[Chorus]
Oh you're not even trying
Oh and I'm dying
I know I'm never gonna be an option
The closest I can be is a close friend

Oh you're not even trying
Oh and I'm dying
It's killing me knowing it's a dead end
I'd kill to be closer than a close friend
