Do you view me

As something to be earned

As something to be taken

Then you're sorely mistaken

I'm something you can show off

Or a shoulder just to cry

Your friends can see me that way

But I'm not a consolation prize

​

(Chorus)
If you want out the "friend zone"

Then don't you dare to be surprised

When you're left out in the cold

Cause just look at it from my eyes

I'm less than human to you

And friendship isn't what you want

And if you're really that hurt

This doesn't have to carry on

​

You are not owed

A single piece of me

And I don't have to justify

The things I do, the way I see

My feelings aren't possessions

A product you can buy

You won't manipulate me

By acting like a "nice guy"

​

(Chorus)

​

How do you talk about me when I'm not there?

What jokes do you make, that to my face you wouldn't dare?

And do the boys all laugh when you defend me in a crowd,

Cause you said the exact same thing last night

And you're just performing now

The joke's on me, anyhow

​

(Chorus)
