about

I thought about it, and it was rude, but I did it just the same.

lyrics

I shit on my friends / and all those people / that I detest.
I could have been a better friend for you / now crawl into bed.
I fear my sins / yeah, I’m TV / what I’m talking about?
Now, I confront my demons / I have reasons-to let them out.
(I) Coulda / shoulda / woulda made some time for you /
what I wanted to see.
But I never could believe in you and me / confidence retreats.
I fear my friends will all leave me / I beg them “don’t go!”
Please stay here and distract me from the urges /
you’ll never know.
If I hold on to hard / I fear / that I might creep you out.
My very fear of loneliness / is what’s been pushing them out.
Oh,I never tried to have my way with you-despite what you think.
I just wanted you to keep me company/don’t raise such a stink.
(So) hold me / feel me / touch me / you’re my crutch /
I need you tonight.
Understand / it’s nothing personal / it’s not love /
and it’s not right.
(Oh,) fix me, lick me, suck me / maybe fuck /
me, I just don’t know.
I’ll pretend that you’re somebody else / a good friend /
someone you know.
(Oh,) I could have been a better friend for you /
it’s worse than it seems.
I’ve been in love / with someone just like you /
She had no love for me.
I’ve got my reasons / seasons past / my fear / and I’m in retreat.
I could have been a better friend / my darling /
someone you need.
I’m such a weakling / bed is squeeking / prophecy’s come true.
I couldn’t enjoy anything / my thoughts were never with you.
