Friend Zone (English Translation) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Between you and me
I’ll keep it in my heart
It’s so subtle
Wanna be with you
Your bestie knows my place
But you know, maybe
No, no, my greed is growing
I want to be next to you more

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Friends forever”
A tattoo engraved with words
Even if I try to forget, it spreads, in my heart like a bruise

[Chorus]
Tell me if you want somebody
Even when I’m next to you, I’m lonely
Tell me if you need somebody
One step closer to me
Tell me if you love somebody
Every day, I wander
I’ll tell you now, no more friend zone

[Post-Chorus]
Step away, far away
Can’t see between us
Step away, far away
The farther we go, the clearer it gets

[Verse 2]
Between us, our hearts are foul
I know, yeah, ayy, yeah, ayy
Our temperature has changed
Inside this Safer zone, I know, babe
But you know, you know
I’m honest now
I want to cross this line

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Friends forever”
You’re a tattoo on my heart
Even if I try to erase it, it stays inside me like a scar

[Chorus]
Tell me if you want somebody
Even when I’m next to you, I’m lonely
Tell me if you need somebody
One step closer to me
Tell me if you love somebody
Every day, I wander
I’ll tell you now (I’ll tell you now), no more friend zone

[Bridge]
Between lost friends
I can’t push you away with those words saying you’ve changed
Where are you now? Think about me
I’m still waiting for you
What if I tell you how I feel?

[Chorus]
Tell me if you want somebody
Even when I’m next to you, I’m lonely
Tell me if you need somebody
One step closer to me
Tell me if you love somebody
Every day, I’m wandering around
I’ll tell you now, no more friend zone

[Post-Chorus]
Step away, far away
Can’t see between us
Step away, far away
The farther away, the clearer it gets

Friend Zone Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
tripleS sets the tone by describing the delicate line between friendship and unspoken love. They recognize their role as the best friend but confess an inner yearning to be something more. The lyrics hint at a growing emotional burden—the desire to be closer is no longer just a fleeting thought but something that’s beginning to consume them.

[Pre-Chorus]
The phrase “friends forever” becomes symbolic—a promise once cherished, now painful. It’s described as a tattoo, suggesting permanence, but one that bleeds like a bruise. tripleS tries to forget but finds their feelings stubbornly rooted, leaving emotional marks that won’t fade.

[Chorus]
The chorus voices the emotional disconnect—despite being physically near the person, tripleS feels lonely. Their repeated plea—”Tell me if you want somebody”—is a subtle yet desperate invitation for clarity. They hover near, waiting for a signal, preparing to break free from the constraints of the friend zone.

[Post-Chorus]
This section reflects growing emotional clarity. The “step away, far away” line implies that even as distance grows, their feelings and the reality of the situation become more vivid. It suggests that only through space can tripleS truly see the truth about their one-sided love.

[Verse 2]
tripleS admits that the feelings they harbor break the unspoken rules of friendship. The emotional temperature has shifted—what once felt safe now feels uncertain. Still, they confront their truth, expressing a deep desire to finally cross the boundary that’s always been there.

[Pre-Chorus]
Reiterating the “friends forever” line, the metaphor now changes—the memory isn’t just a tattoo but a scar, something they tried to erase but remains etched in them. This intensifies the emotional weight, reinforcing how deeply this relationship has impacted them.

[Chorus]
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the persistence of their emotions. Despite the risks, tripleS edges closer to confessing their feelings. The phrase “no more friend zone” is no longer a question—it’s a decision fueled by longing and emotional fatigue.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, tripleS reflects on how the friendship has already changed, regardless of whether their feelings are revealed. They struggle with the idea of letting go, unable to distance themselves just because the situation is complicated. They question where the other person stands and wonder if honesty could change anything.

[Chorus]
The final chorus carries an even deeper emotional tone, as tripleS now sounds resolved. The longing is no longer passive—they are ready to speak their truth and confront whatever comes next, even if it means losing the comfort of friendship.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus returns with a sense of finality. The emotional distance is now undeniable, but so is their clarity. Whether they step away or stay, their feelings are unmistakably real, and they are no longer willing to pretend otherwise.
