Hard To Be Friends
Kris & Rita Lyrics

Closing time, you take off your jumper
As the night comes to an end, you start to relax and become more comfortable

Home and dry, feels like better weather
Finally feeling safe and secure, like the stormy days have passed

But then I can't string words together
However, I struggle to express my feelings coherently

Tongue-tied forever
Constantly at a loss for words, unable to communicate effectively

I was better at this when I was seventeen
In the past, I was more confident and skilled in expressing myself romantically

I would be making the move, the way you're looking at me
If I were younger, I would take the initiative because of the way you're showing interest in me

Now we're writing a song on your bedroom floor
Now we're engaged in an intimate moment, pouring our emotions into a song

And people are calling you just ignore them all, oh
Despite people's judgment or opinions, we should disregard them and focus on our connection

I don't wanna be your friend
I desire a deeper connection than just friendship

I wanna wake up in your bed
I yearn to share intimate moments and wake up beside you

I'm losing just a little more sleep
The intensity of my feelings for you is causing me some sleepless nights

And a bit of self-confidence
It's also affecting my self-assurance and belief in myself

Oh, I swear I'm in love with you
I truly confess that I am deeply in love with you

But I've gotta lie to you
However, I feel compelled to lie to you because of the consequences of revealing the truth

'Cause if I let out the truth
If I were to disclose my true feelings

I can never take it back
I would be unable to undo the impact and the potential changes it may bring

I'd write it out a million times
I would compose my emotions and intentions repeatedly

But then I get scared to send
Yet, I become fearful of actually expressing and sending those messages

Hanging on every word that you say
I hang onto your every word, eagerly listening and analyzing

Play your songs, play the one we just made
Let's listen to your songs, including the one we created together

Long slow nights, warm white wine and mind games
Memorable evenings spent together, enjoying each other's company and engaging in playful conversations

I don't want us to change
I prefer for our relationship dynamic to remain the same, without any alterations

I was better at this when I was twenty-one
In my earlier years, I had more confidence and skill in expressing my emotions in relationships

The way you're looking at me like we're already in love
The way you gaze at me makes it seem as if we are already deeply in love

Now we're filling our drinks on your bedroom floor
Now we're together, enjoying each other's company, and preparing our drinks in your bedroom

People are calling you just ignore them all, oh
Regardless of the criticism or judgments from others, we should disregard them and focus on our connection

I'm losing just a little more sleep
The intensity of my feelings for you continues to disrupt my sleep

And a little self-confidence
Furthermore, my self-assurance and belief in myself are gradually diminishing

I can never take it back
Once I reveal my true feelings, there is no way to undo the consequences and repercussions
