that way Lyrics

Run me in circles
Like you always do
Mess with me on purpose
So I'll hang onto you

I know what you mean when you act like that
You don't know it's breaking my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk, it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
I don't even know where to start
But I can play the part

We say we're friends
But I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense
'Cause we're fighting over what we do
And there's no way
That I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way

Can't even tell if
I love or hate you more
You've got me addicted
And I can't tell who's keepin' score

I know what you mean when you act like that
But you don't know it's breaking my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk, it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
I don't even know where to start
But I can play the part

We say we're friends
But I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense
'Cause we're fighting over what we do
And there's no way
That I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way

Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Mm, hey

We say we're friends
But I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense
'Cause we're fighting over what we do
And there's no way
That I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way

What is the Meaning of that way?

Navigating the complexities of ambiguous relationships, this song delves into the emotional turmoil experienced when platonic boundaries blur with romantic tension. The narrator grapples with mixed signals from a friend who engages in behavior that suggests deeper feelings, yet consistently denies any potential for a romantic relationship. This duality causes significant emotional distress, as the narrator is caught between hope and heartbreak. The repeated assertion that "friends don't look at friends that way" underscores the confusion and frustration inherent in their interactions. Ultimately, the song captures the painful uncertainty of unrequited love and the difficulty of maintaining a friendship when deeper emotions are at play.
