We Are Not Friends

[Verse 1]
(Male)
You’re at my desk again
Reading every word I type
Fishing for some gossip
Like it’s happy hour time
You tag along at lunch
Invite yourself to every plan
I clock in
I clock out
You’re not part of who I am
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
We work together
We are not friends
Clock hits five
That’s where this ends
You don’t know me
Stop playing pretend
We work together
We are not friends
(Female)
You had it twisted
Let me make amends
To the story in your head
That somehow blends
My patience with closeness
It does not extend
We work together
We are not friends (hey!)
[Verse 2]
(Female)
You call me “bestie” in a meeting
Like that’s cute
Like that’s sweet
You share my business in the break room
But you never got that brief
There’s a line you keep on crossing
Every joke
Every DM
My kindness isn’t interest
Don’t confuse the two again
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
We work together
We are not friends
Clock hits five
That’s where this ends
You don’t know us
Stop playing pretend
We work together
We are not friends
(Male)
You don’t get my scars
You don’t get my past
(Female)
You don’t earn my time
Just ‘cause you sit near my desk
(Both)
Read my lips
Let it sink in
We work together
We are not friends
[Bridge]
(Female)
I’m not your therapist
Not your ride-or-die
Not your late-night vent line
When your date goes sideways
(Male)
I’m not your partner in crime
Not your safety net
I’m the guy from your team
That’s as close as it gets (oh yeah)
(Both)
Respect my space
Respect my name
We share a job
We don’t share a life
Okay?
[Chorus]
(Male + Female)
We work together
We are not friends
Say it once
Say it again
You don’t own me
You don’t get a say in my plans
We work together
We are not friends
Tag your jokes
Return my pens
That’s the start
That’s the end
You don’t know us
Stop playing pretend
We work together
We are not friends

Anthemic pop-rock duet with male and female vocals trading sharp, witty lines; tight rhythm guitar and punchy drums under verses, big gang-style singalong on the hook. Call-and-response harmonies, playful tension in the bridge, subtle synths thickening the chorus for a stadium-ready kiss-off., vocal
