that friend

(album: Homecoming! - 2022)

Well, I guess I'm that friend
The one walking three steps behind 'cause
The sidewalk's not wide enough and my friends talk on by
Never included in the conversation
I'm the king of my plane of existence
I guess I'm a ghost
Alone and my friends and I aren't close 'cause
They think I'm a burden, so I don't let my feelings show
They forgot when it was my birthday
At least the tears in my cake were gourmet

I'm tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick
A background character for all of my life
Well, I guess I'm that friend and
My friends just pretend that
I'm somebody that they like

I guess I'm that friend
The one who hangs out with the group
That ain't close enough to anyone to have someone to talk to
I got friends but I'm still lonely
If we played the quiet game, I'd win all the trophies
Well, I guess I just exist
I'm not missed, no one even seems to notice
That I'm listening, I got feelings, and I ain't very outspoken
They forgot to invite me to the party
Got a text like, "We forgot you, we're sorry"

I'm tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick
A background character for all of my life
Well, I guess I'm that friend and
My friends just pretend that
I'm somebody that they like

Don't wanna be a door mat
Not someone you can step on
Just hear me out before I leave
Don't wanna be invisible
This friendship is so miserable
I'm someone you don't want or need

I'm tired of being last pick
Treated like a side chick
A background character for all of my life
Well, I guess I'm that friend and
My friends just pretend that
I'm somebody that they like

(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(Oh, oh)
(I'm tired of being last pick)
(Treated like a side chick)
(A background character for all of my life)
(Well, I guess I'm that friend and)
(My friends just pretend that)
(I'm somebody that they like)
Oh, oh
