about

This one goes out to all those who suffer in the silence of unrequited love, pining away in the dreaded Friend Zone.

As someone who's been pegged the "nice guy" all my life, I've watch many a crush make bad decisions and been the one to comfort them as they vented to me about it. Smh. I feel your pain. There comes a point when you have to lay it all out on the line and see what you're left with. That's what this song is all about. Godspeed to those still in limbo and may you soon escape the Friend Zone.

lyrics

Said, I miss you like crazy, til I see you again
‘Cause I wanna be lovers, you just wanna be friends
People say that the nice guy gets the girl in the end
I don’t know if it’s true, my friend
But tonight it’s just torture again

I’m cold and alone in the friend zone
Got me down on my knees
Said, if this is as far as this love’s gonna go
I’m beggin’ ya, set me free

I sit here in your corner, watch the parade pass by
A string of lovers that hurt you, I hold you when you cry
(Ooh don’t you cry)
Seems no matter how hard I try, my love is denied
Play the fool for you once again
This would be lover, just your best friend

And I'm cold and alone (So cold)
In the friend zone (Cold and alone)
Got me down on my knees (Beggin’ you baby)
And, if this is as far as this love’s gonna go
I’m beggin’ ya, set me free

'Cause I don’t know how to break down your walls
But I love ya baby, yeah ya know I do
Wish you could see all the love inside of me
‘Cause I just wanna make ya happy girl it’s true

Well, you’re everyone’s baby
Well, everyone’s but mine
Tell yourself you’re still searchin’
I’ve been here the whole time
(God knows I’ve tried)
‘Til, you come to your senses, I’ll be there by your side
Hopin’ one day you’ll wake up and see (Wake up!)
The friends and lovers that we’re meant to be

‘Til then I’m cold and alone (So cold)
In the friend zone (Cold and alone)
Girl, I'm down on my knees (Beggin’ you baby)
Said, if this is as far as this love’s gonna go
I’m beggin’ ya, set me free

Don’t leave me cold and alone (So cold)
In the friend zone (Cold and alone)
Girl I'm down on my knees (Beggin’ you baby)
And, if this is as far as this love’s gonna go
I’m beggin’ ya, set me free

So baby tell me that it’s you & me
