Just friends

I really want to say,
The things that are on my mind
I want to tell you how I feel
All of the time

I'm sorry if I'm shy baby
This is how I am
I'm trying to be cool with you
I'm trying to be calm

When you say you love me
I don't know if its true
I dont know what it means baby
But I say I love you too

Sometimes I want more than this
Other days I don't
I can never be commited
If I dont know what I want

All I want is friendship
But I fucking love to kiss
But then when I'm alone
You are the one that I miss

I really think i love you
Much More than I should
I would like to keep you close
I really wish i could

I don't think you really like me
I think you just pretend
So I'm not giving myself to you
Incase this friendship ends

I can get attached too quick
Its something I always do
But I'm holding back my feelings now
Because I don't know if they're true

If I told you how I felt
Our friendship would be gone
And then I'd realise what I wanted
Was with me all along
