I Don't Want to Be
J.S.


(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I don't want to be the pillar
That you can lean on.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your part-time lover, who you can lay
All of your dreams upon.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be caught in between what you call
Friendship and love.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be yours.

Everyday you take what you're given, and seem to just lock it away.
(Inside your little heart)
And everytime I try to get closer to you, you push me before I can start.
(So is that how you play?)
Maybe here, maybe now, maybe someday I might get the chance to find.
(But probably not today)
So I sit, and I wait, for the moment when you finally decide.

(But I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I don't want to be the pillar
That you can lean on.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your part-time lover, who you can lay
All of your dreams upon.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be caught in between what you call
Friendship and love.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be yours.

You always seem uninterested in what I say or do.
(You never really care)
Until the moment when your world falls apart, and suddenly I'm there.
(Somehow it's not fair)
How you take everthing in stride and leave me with nothing to hold.
(But then again that's you)
You're the one who thinks that your love is worth it's weight in gold.

(But I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I don't want to be the conscience
That you can rely on.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your part-time smiling, happy-go-lucky
Co-confidon.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your far away planet that you can
Sometimes shine upon.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I just want to be yours.

(No I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your friend, I don't want to be the pillar
That you can rely upon.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be your part-time lover, who you can lay
All of your dreams upon.
(I don't want to be)
I don't want to be caught inbetween what you call
Friendship and love.
(I don't want to be)
I don't wand to be your friend, I just want to be yours.
