we’re not good friends

You tug at my heart like an old frayed thread
Worn and pulled away in the end
And I keep reaching out to see if it's still there
Ripping away 'til it can't be repaired

It's nice to feel wanted, but nicer to know
This won't go anywhere I want it to go
It hurts a bit, baby, but only for a second
You pass by me fleetingly and I just have to let it

So I watch the time stray from you
Over and over and over again
We're not stuck in a dance, but I can't pretend
That I won't do this again
It's just a way to pass the time
I know you think my taste is blind
But I think it's time you go
It is just what you say it is
But I know how to get my kicks
So now I think that I'd better go

I don't believe in other universes
But yours is better than everyone else's
If everything stays exactly just like this
I'll say I don't know anything about you
And you'll say you hate everything I do
I wanna blame you, but I know you're lying
Just like you know my words are true

It's nice to feel wanted, but nicer to know
This won't go anywhere I want it to go
You turn towards the door and I'm all in for the news
It's not like this is leaving me with any guilt

So I watch the time stray from you
Over and over and over again
We're not stuck in a dance, but I can't pretend
That I won't do this again
It's just a way to pass the time
I know you think my taste is blind
But I think it's time you go
It is just what you say it is
But I know how to get my kicks
So now I think that I'd better go

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

It's nice to feel wanted, but nicer to know
This won't go anywhere I want it to go
You're sweet and you're kind, but I know the truth
You only want anything that I introduce

So I watch the time stray from you
Over and over and over again
We're not stuck in a dance, but I can't pretend
That I won't do this again
It's just a way to pass the time
I know you think my taste is blind
But I think it's time you go
It is just what you say it is
But I know how to get my kicks
So now I think that I'd better go

I'd better go
