Not Your Lover, Not Your Friend

About this track
“Not Your Lover, Not Your Friend” sits in that messy middle space a lot of people know too well. It is the sound of two people who keep circling each other but won’t name what they are. Late-night calls. Warm voices. Mixed signals. A shoulder in the morning that feels safe but never promised. Half in love. Half drifting. All confusing. It is a song about being stuck between wanting more and pretending you are fine with less. About holding on even when you know the line keeps shifting. Beautiful. Cruel. Honest. If you like indie folk that feels intimate, slow-burning and a little bruised around the edges, this one will hit home. Thanks for listening. Hope it finds the right people. Lyrics: You only call me when it’s getting late I tell myself no, but I hesitate Your voice is warm, but your words are borrowed I can’t tell if you'll be mine tomorrow We’re a secret with no name Half in love, half in the grey I’m not your lover, not your friend Caught in the middle, where does it end? Kiss me then you push away You draw the line, then let me stay It’s bittersweet, but I pretend I’m not your lover, not your friend Morning comes and the truth feels colder Coffee cups and your head on my shoulder Every smile feels like a placeholder A love that fades as the day grows older We’re a secret with no name Half in love, half in the grey I’m not your lover, not your friend Caught in the middle, where does it end? Kiss me then you push away You draw the line, then let me stay It’s bittersweet, but I pretend I’m not your lover, not your friend Maybe I deserve the blurry lines Trading heartbeats for borrowed time It’s beautiful and it’s cruel I know the rules, I broke them too I’m not your lover, not your friend Caught in the middle, where does it end? Kiss me then you push away You draw the line, then let me stay It’s bittersweet, but I pretend I’m not your lover, not your friend
