Twice the intended
In my single bed
For far too long
We've been far too distant
I'm glad you made the descent
We've got the benefit
Of being friends
And the rest
Is the best but we know
It's not the be all and end
Never regretted
Any time we spent
Never gave me
A night laid awake
Wondering what we meant
And I won't pretend
To have it figured out
I'm aware
It's not forever
But it's perfect for now
You've got your problems
And I try to help
Yes I'm familiar
I've struggled with myself myself
I know it's commoner
To go for wealth
But my wish above all else
Is that you love yourself
It's that you love yourself

Staying With a Friend

Staying with a friend
It's been a while
Are you beguiled
Or is it temporary ends
Cause your texts have been less
Frequent of late
You never used to make me wait
I'm sitting in my landlady's house
On the absence of a couch
I have to wonder
Do you have someone now
And does he treat you how
I want to
Cause I can't help
Being jealous
When I'm thinking there's someone new
I'll admit that we weren't serious
But at times I almost wanted to
Did you want me to
Girl were we ready to
Staying with a friend
I've got the envy
Cause the place in which I'm living's
Almost permanently empty
You still haven't made a visit
I know it's distant
But I said
I don't mind paying you for the tickets
I'm still sitting in my landlady's house
On the absence of a couch
And I must wonder
Do you have someone now
And does he treat you how
I want to
Cause I can't help
Being jealous
When I'm thinking there's someone new
I'll admit that we weren't serious
But at times I almost wanted to
Did you want me to
Girl were we ready to
And it always helped to know
That I had some place to go
If I ever felt too alone
But your doorstep's different now
That I can't just come on through
And my bed feels far more empty
Knowing yours is full
Cause I can't help
Being jealous
When I'm thinking there's someone new
I'll admit that we weren't serious
But at times I almost wanted to
Did you want me to
Girl were we ready to
Did you want me to
Girl were we ready to
So you're staying with a friend
And really I don't mind
I'm just hoping you're alright
Cause I know I never said
But it really was the best
When we passed each other's time

So did I waste my fucking time
Trying to help you fix your life
Cause girl you never changed
And after just a week or two
Of the same advice from someone new
Girl you ain't the same
I was hatchbacking hatchbacking 419
See your name in the address I've got to lay it by
And take some time to reply
You're explaining why you're
Giving what's his name a second chance
I was a skeptic now I understand
Seems he did what I couldn't do
Seems he found a way through to you
And I had over five hundred days
But your problems never went away
Was it something I didn't say
Or rather something that you did not feel
Cause on a list of the help he gave
Oh I can hear echoes of myself
Trying to persuade you
So what's the difference
So did I waste my fucking time
Trying to help you fix your life
Cause girl you never changed
And after just a week or two
Of the same advice from someone new
Girl you ain't the same
Now you're backtracking backtracking
It's 12/09 you walked away from him
You're saying it's the last time
Girl I hope that you're right
Cause he never changed and girl I understand
There's no incentive if you come straight back
Only thing that you did was prove
He can do what he wants to you
And you say you want to take the good with bad
But it's worse than you should ever have
Girl why'd you want to live like that
Gone for good you remember that
Sent you a list of the things he hates about you
I hope it don't go downhill from here
But girl it's bound to
So did I waste my fucking time
Trying to help you fix your life
Cause girl you never changed
And after just a week or two
Of the same advice from someone new
Girl you ain't the same
So did I waste my fucking time
Pointing out the warning signs
Girl do you want the pain
And I know you'll always just do you
But when you set yourself up for abuse
It really seems a shame

I knew that you
Would accuse me of lying
If I told you that you still looked pretty
Even though you'd spent the whole morning crying
And I know it's true
That I'm biased
But it's the first time
That I've seen you in a while
I love how you smiled
When you found my eye
Take your time
While you tell me what he's done now
Girl take your time
It'll all work out
We took a walk in the park
And saw the leaves turn to gold
Then you took me home
Just to hold you
Cause I could barely raise my voice to you
If I tried
Let alone raise a hand to you
On my life
I don't want you to be alone
I'm glad that you moved on
Just the direction's wrong
Oh here we go again
You want an ear
But you're never listening
Only took 7 days for you to cave
I only hope he don't escalate
Are you really so scared to go
You downplay what you said before
Cause he'll be banging on your door
If you don't pick up that phone
So you put yourself on hold
