It's been a long day
The kind you wish would just go away
And now I'm waiting on fate
It's been a long day
Everywhere I go
I keep a close watch on my telephone 
Waiting for your name to show
Everywhere I go
Every girl I see walking down the street 
Or movie on my TV screen 
Reminds me of the way that it could be
Every sad song on the radioÂ…
I see your face everywhere I go
I feel like this is something that you gotta know
I don't wanna be your buddy
Don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be that someone who wishes he was with you in the end
Don't wanna be that sad song stuck inside your head
Don't wanna be the thought in the back of your mind right before you go 
to bed
Don't wanna be a what if or I wish we could have been
And I don't wanna be your rebound when he hurts you again
I don't wanna stand here waiting for you to let me in
‘cause I don't wanna be your buddy…. I don't wanna be just friends
It's been a long year
The kind you wish would just disappear
I really wish you were here
It's been a long year
All the stars in the sky
Seem to point towards you and I don't know why
I can't believe I'm that guy
Looking at stars in the sky
Every girl I see walking down the street
Or movie on my TV screen 
Reminds me of the way that it should be
Every sad song on the radio
I see your face everywhere I go
I feel like this is something that you gotta know
I don't wanna be your buddy
Don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be that someone who wishes he was with you in the end
Don't wanna be that sad song stuck inside your head
Don't wanna be the thought in the back of your mind right before you go 
to bed
Don't wanna be a what if or I wish we could have been
And I don't wanna be your rebound when he hurts you again
I don't wanna stand here waiting for you to let me in
‘cause I don't wanna be your buddy…. I don't wanna be just friends
Take a look around you ‘cause this is something that you should know
What you're looking for is already foundÂ… so baby just let it go.
I don't wanna be your buddy
Don't wanna be your friend
I don't wanna be that someone who wishes he was with you in the end
Don't wanna be that sad song stuck inside your head
Don't wanna be the thought in the back of your mind right before you go 
to bed
Don't wanna stand here waving right before you go away
And I'm tired of all this praying that I'll wind up with you someday
I just wanna be that man who puts a ring on your hand
‘cause I don't wanna be your buddy… I don't wanna be just friends.
