Friends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We were better off as friends
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
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
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)
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
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
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)
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
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
