lyrics

I was asleep at the wheel, stumbled into something real. And I dreamt what I knew, it was never going to last with you

I fell quietly so silently never can I not catch my breath. It was fine with me when you dined with me and you wouldn't let me get the check

I couldn't eat at the meal I had some sort of stomach deal
couldn't talk in the pauses the silence was critically lauded

It's not like I sent you home that night without reason why but I went out and I still got high
It was fine with me it was fine with you, I just couldn't see it through

I saw you out at the bar, standing with another girl, drink in my hand and you knew that I wasn't out for you

It's not like you said that we’re exclusive but still I used you for that I'm useless
excuse me for rumoring changing my tune again we are just two friends collectively humoring
