Why I See You As Just A Friend

Here comes the moment I've been trying to avoid,
The offer is on the table with the list of times we've enjoyed,
Or a reason for the offer but I wonder why bother,
Then you release what's bottled in and I'm like damn I caught her,

By the heart, but I'm just trying to be her friend,
Now I wish I had equal feelings or reasons we should end,
The feelings being grown for me, that seem to be done easily,
Like watching something so fragile be born for me,

Don't get me wrong, I want to give you the world because you deserve it,
I want to cater to your fruit, if you're a blackberry then I'll curve it,
Since you're worth it but, I'm not capable of giving you everything you need,
I can count my flaws that makes it hard for us to succeed,

Crazy thing is I want to try, but my failure shouldn't be apart of your story,
At the end of the day, overcoming your obstacles with me won't make up your glory,
I'm not perfect but compared to the ones before me I can be,
But I just work the strengths of my flaws within me,

I sit hoping to do you right but I want to avoid the moment,
Just for now since time is so expensive and no one can loan it,
So now I'm falling just like I did before,
For my own trick so I feel sick and you just want for more,

Then you think I'm selfish although I'm feeling selfless,
With the intent of your heart so I can't help this,
Well help to be honest and you think I'm running game,
Just another player, trying to pimp and I'm just the same,

As the others, but no need to argue against you, I just show how I differ,
Since I know what you been through, I take my hat off to tip you, and show respect much quicker,
Competition doesn't exist for real but you think if you create it, things will change,
Yeah they will but it will only make things strange,

Well awkward, like I said I fell for this before,
So I try to be honest since I know what's in store,
At least I think I know,
Here's a confession I'm really just afraid for love to grow,
Blessed with a kind heart that's fragile I guess that's why my feelings show.

So I can never completely dismiss love, or control it,
So I try to avoid it so I won't have to console it,
Again, I'm having no problems with not wanting to pretend,
But until I'm ready to take the chance, don't take offense if I say I look at you as just a friend...
