Always in the Friend Zone
By JP doValle aka TRINITY MEDIA ENTERTAINMENT
[Verse 1]
Pull up a stool at the old dive bar,
Sippin' on whiskey, strummin' my guitar,
Another night lookin' for the one,
But it always feels like I’m on the run.
Bartenders smile, but they don’t see me right,
Waitresses giggle, but they’re outta sight,
Every pretty face seems to fade away,
Guess it's just my luck, love’s a game I can't play.
[Chorus]
I keep finding love in the wrong places,
Chasin' down shadows, just empty spaces,
Stuck in the friend zone, can’t break free,
Where the heart wants to wander, but it don’t want me.
I’ve tried online dating, swiped left and right,
But every girl seems to vanish each night.
Oh, always in the friends zone, no end in sight,
Searching for love, but it just ain’t right.
[Verse 2]
Met a girl last week with a sweet southern drawl,
Talked about dreams till the liquor went small,
She smiled at my jokes and laughed at my lines,
But I woke up alone, guess I crossed the signs.
Every time I think I’m finally in,
I end up with a hug while she calls me friend,
Can’t seem to win, can’t catch a break,
Just a heart on my sleeve, takin' all it can take.
[Chorus]
I keep finding love in the wrong places,
Chasin' down shadows, just empty spaces,
Stuck in the friend zone, can’t break free,
Where the heart wants to wander, but it don’t want me.
I’ve tried online dating, swiped left and right,
But every girl seems to vanish each night.
Oh, always in the friends zone, no end in sight,
Searching for love, but it just ain’t right.
[Bridge]
Maybe next time I’ll go with my heart,
Not just the looks or the sweet talkin' part,
But I can't shake this feeling, it haunts me still,
That the one I’m searching for lost her will.
[Verse 3]
So here’s to the bartenders and waitresses too,
The ones that were close but never came through,
I’ll keep singin’ my songs, and drownin’ my tears,
Hopin' that one day, she'll wipe out my fears.
A girl who won’t run from what I can give,
Who sees the real me and believes I can live.
[Outro]
So here's to the journey, the heartache and pain,
I’ll keep searching 'til I’m not lost again,
In this wide, wild world, under the stars' glow,
I’m just a love-struck fool, always in the friends zone.
