Sarah Hemi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, tell me why do I believe everything that you say?
Oh
And you never seem mean to but you do
And I'm so wrong for not thinking this through
But I guess I just can't get enough of you
So, baby don't say we're Just Friends
Don't make it sound like every thing's fine
We both know you want to be mine
No
But everything's going to be alright
If you don't say we're Just Friends
So, Baby don't say we're Just Friends
Baby, don't say we're Just Friends
So, Baby don't say we're Just Friends
Oh
In Sarah Hemi's song "Just Friends," the lyrics express the confusion and longing for something more in a relationship. The first stanza suggests that the person in question always has somewhere to be but makes time to see the singer, leaving her wondering why she believes everything that person says. The singer acknowledges that the person may not intentionally be mean, but it still hurts her. Despite this, she finds herself unable to resist the person's charm and continues to crave more from them. The chorus is a plea to not be labeled as "just friends," as the singer knows that the person wants more than that but is too afraid to admit it.
The lyrics showcase the complexity of modern relationships and the fear of vulnerability. The singer wants more than just a casual relationship but is afraid to speak up and risk being rejected. The repetition of the phrase "just friends" emphasizes the conflict between what is said and what is felt. Ultimately, the song is a plea for honesty and clarity in relationships, encouraging individuals to communicate their true feelings.
