Falling out of Love with your Straight Best Friend

I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

Of course I remember the way your hand felt in mine

And of course I remember the way you used to hold me

And I know you remember it too, otherwise you wouldn't avoid me like this.


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

And she had to fall out of love with me

Because her whole reputation is built on everything that I am not

Because she is everything that I am not


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

And I miss her like no tomorrow

And I miss the way the sun reflected off her hair

And I miss the way she would say "I love you"


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

And now our she's stopped replying to my messages

And I pretend to ignore her back

And maybe she's just pretending to ignore me too


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

And now my heart has not one break but two

Because before I fell in love

Before all this, you were my best friend


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

And now I can barely look at you

And I think maybe the feeling is mutual

Because now you can barely look at me too


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

And I know we were never anything

At least according to you

But now whatever we weren't, is over


I had to fall out of love with my straight best friend

Because at the end of the day

She is straight

And I am not
