I The Mighty - Friends lyrics
rate meFt. Max Bemis
(Verse)
U left the room and all my senses left with u
And now my body's just a place for blood
If I could taste then I'd be shakin' in my place
Just at the thought of what ur lips taste of
Oh, u luv to string me along and I know it
But resistance always lingers on my tongue
You're afraid you'll never belong
And I say it, but it's always tongue in cheek
(I choose all the right words but the words work against me)
(Chorus)
Take my pride but you'll never take all my friends
Take my life and you'll never feel whole again
But if you're gonna make empty threats, then how dare u?
If the thought of an absent God doesn't scare u
If u want me to hold my breath while u carry on
Then come on!
(Verse 2)
I must admit, there was a time when u were it
You had my body, had my soul, my luv
But how we switched, I cracked the code, I scratched the itch
And you're aware the spell is wearin' off
You no longer string me along, and u know it
Bet it eats away at that confidence u feign
From afar I fell for it all, but close up
It comes off trite and cheap
(Well u can take it all off and I'd still keep my mind clean)
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
I've got this medicine in my head
Every day it secretes and tells me what I should have said
So I live in dread, that every thought that I vocalize should be silence instead
I've got this notebook that begs for luv
I hear it screamin' 'come on, boy, fill me like that whiskey cup!'
So I ripped him up, then I poured out a sip in remembrance of my paper cuts
I've got this paintin' that looks just like u
I'm sure the one who laid brush to canvas simply had no clue
Of the damage they'd do. With every look that I give
It burns, let it burn
(Chorus)
