I'm drunk off your kiss For another night in a row This is becoming too routine for me But I did not mean to lead you on And it's all right 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 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 we made When I was never to be found And it's all right to forget That we still talk Its just for fun, isn't it It's my fault that it fell apart 'cause 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 still pick my friends over you (My friends over you) Just maybe you need this You need thisâ?¦ 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 still pick my friends over you
