So sorry it's over, so sorry it's over There's so much more that I wanted and (So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I needed and (So sorry it's over) Time keeps moving on and on and on Soon we'll all be gone Let's take some time to talk this over You're out of line and rarely sober We can't depend on your excuses 'Cause in the end it's fuckin' useless You can only lean on me for so long Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down You can only lean on me for so long I remember shots without a chaser Absentminded thoughts, now you're a stranger Cover up the scars put on your gameface Left you in the bar to try and save face You can only lean on me for so long Bring the ship about to watch a friend drown Sit out on the ledge, begged you to come down You can only lean on me for so long So sorry it's over, so sorry it's over There's so much more that I wanted and (So sorry it's over) There's so much more that I needed and (So sorry it's over) Time keeps moving on and on and on Soon we'll all be gone Man on a mission, can't say I miss him around Insider information, hand in your resignation Loss of a good friend best of intentions I found Tight lipped procrastination Yeah later, see you around
