It's complicated
Wouldn't you say
Give me your pencil
But don't look my way
Hushed conversation
A like on my story
And comments
Here and there
Ignore me in person
But laugh at my jokes
Smile across the room
But make sure nobody knows
Brush my hand
While you hold another's
Is complicated
Is that What you say to your lover
Jokes about us
That seem serious
Asking me questions
That you already knew the answer to
Tapping my on the shoulder
Just to say nothing
Just to look me in my eyes
And pretend we're nothing
That this is nothing
That we're friends
And this is normal
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
