For Her Sake, I Hope You Don't Realize This Is About You

For Her Sake, I Hope You Don't Realize This Is About You

I miss our nights of ordering in
Never thought that's something I'd one day be missing
I'd lay on your shoulder and complain about him
Just a few more inches and we'd be kissing

We'd waste the night doing not that much
Your roommate's out of town, got the place to ourselves
Drinking, thinking how we could possibly touch
Our friendship was perfect but I went through hell

You used to tell me all your secrets
But now you whisper them to her
It was never about the sex
Forget the way we were
She's just the one that you prefer

Always assumed it would happen one day
Destiny, fate and other big words
I never had the courage to stand up and say
Swallowed it down not to make things awkward

Now I stumble my way through euphimisms
To platonically express just how great you are
Funny enough, that's my one criticism
If you change your mind... I won't be too far

You used to tell me all your secrets
But now you whisper them to her
It was never about the sex
Forget the way we were
She's just the one that you prefer

Hanging out
Just meant
Hanging out

I think I'll build a time machine
Go back and relive the moments I wasted
Enjoy the thought, we could have been
Your voice on my ear, your mouth never tasted

You used to tell me all your secrets
But now you whisper them to her
It was never about the sex
Forget the way we were
She's just the one that you prefer
