i'm breaking my heart
I'm breaking heart
sitting here everyday thinking
i should man up and tell you
I'm breaking my own heart
letting occupy my thoughts
the better part of the day
I'm breaking my heart
pretending you don't know this
knowing too well you noticed
I'm breaking my own heart
it's been years
years of pretence
living my life pretending i moved on
not because i'm a coward
because i asked you
and you said no to me
well love
i know i wasn't upfront about it
but i was as straight forward as i could get
you know me
i don't want to call you babe
because i've realized everyone that
goes by that name eventually goes
and i kinda want you to stay here longer
i won't use forever
cause i know that too ends
so allow me to use longer
because then
maybe then
we could trick it
into forever
well let's laugh
together because -
i'm breaking my heart
again
and we all know
you see me as nothing more than
a friend
