Niki’s song “Friends” is her 3rd song listed on her Debut E.P Zephyr. In this song, she sings about how she breaks promises with a boy because she is unable to return her feelings for him. In other words, she is friend zoning a boy.
We were better off as friends
[Verse 1]
Drinking ‘till like 5 in the morning
I should prolly head back
Empty promises in my wallet
Love that I can't pay back
You trade my promises for your feelings
We've gone too far to turn back
My mind could run a mile on the ceiling
But I shouldn't live like that
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this real or is it just a phase?
Will the pressure be enough to break?
We should fuck, nah I feel like we can't
Your hands glued to my waist
Should I ignore your call when you ring my phone in the middle of the night?
Thinking to myself at the end of the day...
[Hook]
We were better off as friends
It's not you, I do this all the time
We should try to coexist
Should have never even crossed the line
(I do this every time)
[Verse 2]
Ooh
Give me love, give me love
I'm the cause, you’re a drug
It's because we fucked up
Flicked the trust like the butt of a cigarette
Look in your eyes, this don't feel like a friendship
Sold you dreams, there you were in my hands
You’re excited and I'm feeling the same way
Sip your drink, I don't know what I'm saying
I swear I'm tripping, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Is this real or is it just a phase?
Will the pressure be enough to break?
We should fuck, nah I feel like we can't
Your hands glued to my waist
Should I ignore your call when you ring my phone in the middle of the night?
Thinking to myself at the end of the day...
[Hook]
We were better off as friends
It's not you, I do this all the time
We should try to coexist
Should have never even crossed the line
(I do this every time)
[Bridge]
Can't fall in love with somebody like you
I'm not meant for somebody like you
I don't think this boat is for two, two
(2x)
[Hook]
We were better off as friends
It's not you, I do this all the time
We should try to coexist
Should have never even crossed the line
