  • I'm drunk off your kiss
    For another night in a row
    This is becoming too routine for me
    But I didn't mean to lead you on
    And it's alright to pretend
    That we still talk
    It's just for show, isn't it?
    It's my fault that it fell apart

    Just maybe
    You need this
    And I didn't mean to
    Lead you on

    You were everything I wanted
    But I just can't finish what I've started
    There's no room left here on my back
    It was damaged long ago
    Though you swear that you are true
    I'd still pick my friends over you
    My friends over you

    Please tell me everything
    That you think that I should know
    About all the plans you made
    When I was nowhere to be found
    And it's alright to forget
    That we still talk
    It's just for fun, isn't it?
    It's my fault that it fell apart

    Just maybe (maybe)
    You need this (you need this)
    And I didn't (and I didn't) mean to
    Lead you on

    You were everything I wanted
    But I just can't finish what I've started
    There's no room left here on my back
    It was damaged long ago
    Though you swear that you are true
    I'd still pick my friends over you
    My friends over you

    Just maybe you need this
    You need this
    And I didn't mean to
    Lead you on

    You were everything I wanted
    But I just can't finish what I've started
    There's no room left here on my back
    It was damaged long ago
    Though you swear that you are true
    I'd still pick my friends over

    You were everything I wanted (everything I wanted)
    But I just can't finish what I've started
    There's no room left here on my back
    It was damaged long ago
    Though you swear that you are true
    I'd still pick my friends over you
