Friends don’t eat Friends

I.

I've been dodging danger by a thread, by a hair 

From all the different faces showing up everywhere

I'm getting tired of it,

Wanna delete the app now

Looking for something honest, something real somehow

That's when you sent me a message out the blue

Said you'd be in the city, needed somewhere to get through

As a friend I said, "yeah, you can stay a while" 

Even though we never really clicked in earlier times

But I know you're coming off a heartbreak too 

Maybe that's something we could both hold onto

Pre-Chorus 1.

Boy, what are you thinking?

Stop, check what you're thinking 

You're delirious, this can't be serious

II.

It was easy, it was sweet 

Finally got to know you honestly

You had me going out, jogging in the morning light

Cooking in my kitchen, waiting up at night

As the weeks went on, we were getting closer 

Summer heat rising, my room feeling smaller 

I was giving you signs, you were sending them back

Not always clear, but we were reading the cracks

Pre-Chorus 2.

Boy, what are you doing?

Stop, check what you're doing 

You're delirious, this can't be serious

Chorus.

Why'd we have to stop ourselves

Just to keep us as friends?

Why'd we have to pretend 

Like it never happened?

So scared of the fallout

When it's all allowed

You said it like a final rule:

"Friends don't cross that line, we don't do that, we're through"

Bridge.

But maybe just for the hell of it 

One more time before you go

You said, "you should forget all this" 

Like it's something we don't know

We'll never tell a soul

No one has to know

I won't even say your name

Won’t even add this on, Addison.

(Repeat chorus)
