The Background

[Intro] I'm stuck in the friend zone And it's sad cause I rather live this lie Than not have you in my life at all [Verse 1] Never thought playing background could be so hard Wish I cast for the lead and got the SAG card? Course the sad part is you don't even know about it Wanna confess but how I'm goin' go about it? You say ya'll argue and fight now? You at my place in my arms on my couch now Saying I'm the best friend that you got now So I cover my emotions like some white out I know you love to talk about him But it hurts when you talk about him And you say the three of us should just meet But I claim that I'm too busy Girl cause you be spending hours at my place And every time you get close to my face I swear I wanna claim your lips as mine And share all these feelings I'm forced to hide [Hook] Girl I can't do this, no I can't do this, no I can't do this, no I can't do this So I just chill here in the background, yeah And the sad part is I'll take what we have over Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing [Verse 2] You telling me you confide in me If only I could show the other side of me I wanna be more than your best friend Wish that I can get this nightmare to end It's your five month anniversary Upset cause I'm six months too late Wish I was the one that met you first As time goes on it just gets worse [Hook] [Bridge] There's a party at Barney's a couple of my friends goin' I was busy putting my number in your friend's phone Then you took my focus like I put a lens on I fell in lust with your eyes and your skin tone Then I told you you're a catch, fuckin' endzone A week goes by and I'm thinking, "It's on" You confess you have a man and you're into 'em Damn, how I end up in the friend zone The more I like you the more you want to chill If I play my cards right maybe I can deal (yeah, yeah, yeah) But I'mma keep it real I can never be a friend of his as long as you a friend of me (uh uh) And if I tell you that I'm in to you would that make us enemies? (huh huh) [Hook] x2
