Like a Friend

Don't bother saying you're sorry.

Why don't you come in?

Smoke all my cigarettes again.

Every time I get no further.

How long has it been?

Come on in now,

Wipe your feet on my dreams.

You take up my time,

Like some cheap magazine,

When I could have been learning something.

Oh well, you know what I mean.

I've done this before.

And I will do it again.

Come on and kill me baby,

While you smile like a friend.

And I'll come running,

Just to do it again.

You are the last drink I never should drunk.

You are the body hidden in the trunk.

You are the habit I can't seem to kick.

You are my secrets on the front page every week.

You are the car I never should have bought.

You are the train I never should have caught.

You are the cut that makes me hide my face.

You are the party that makes me feel my age.

Like a car crash I can see but I just can't avoid.

Like a plane I've been told I never should board.

Like a film that's so bad but I've gotta stay til the end.

Let me tell you now,

It's lucky for you that we're friends.
