Lyrics "I like you" interlude - taynikx

Regardless of what my feelings are
I'd rather be your friend
That's what I keep repeating in the mirror
That's what I repeat with every text that I send
Not outwardly, or openly
Or honestly in a way That's known
Because regardless of what my feelings are
These feelings for you will never be shown
Again, besides the one or two slap-ups where I stared for too long

I thought I used to have a crush on you
Honestly, I've had that same crush all along
But it was 3 in the morning
And you were just about to go, so I just opened the door for you and said
You're the best person that I know
And usually, these feelings are unmerited and hollow
I don't know them that well, and then they're just somebody else that I follow

I loved them before I liked them
And when it ends, I never liked them at all
This person that I was in a relationship with
I convinced myself they were worth the fall
But here, I keep tripping on the way to forget how you make me feel
I loved them before I liked them, but I like you enough to heal

I'd rather be your friend and know about your day
Was it horrible? Fantastic? What did your favorite co-worker say
And you tell me all these secrets, and I'm a vault with a chain
A locked-up safe where I keep all the pain
And I think you're outstanding, brilliant, to me, without a flaw
But I would rather be your friend
So I can always look at you in awe, and see behind the curtain of all that you keep away

Regardless of what my feelings are, your friend, I will stay
Because I'd rather know all of you than just keep up appearances for a while
Being the key witness of your heartbreak's grand trial
Regardless of what my feelings are, my feelings for you will end

Until I read the message you sent me, I'm sick of being just your friend
