Lyrics

[Verse 1] Another late night function with your hype-machine friends And their post-ironic trends Another drink accompanied by keeping it light And making clear there's an end I never thought I'd let you get so close to my heart So close to the love I give But here I am, my heart in hand When right from the start you chose not to let me in [Chorus] Well, I guess I could be fake nice, friends without feelings Run at the thought of having to watch you cry (You never let me cry) (You nеver let me cry) Nеver wanted any values, no time for making lasting impressions Not long as I'm alive (Not long as I'm alive) (Not long as I'm alive) [Verse 2] I thought I was a lucky one Surrounded by beauty, love, and a pinch of grace (You're gorgeous, yeah, you're gorgeous) (You're gorgeous, yeah, you're gorgeous) I thought I chose them carefully But now I can see it's all just a numbers race ('Nother one, a new one gone and replaced the other one) (Beautiful does not outweigh the way that you chose to run) I guess I know my place in it But hoped you would be here, hoped you would be my friend (Bish, I needed you) (Bish, I needed you) You call it helpless happenstance But knew from the start your choice was to be like them (It wasn't you) (It wasn't you) [Chorus] Well, I guess I could be fake nice, friends without feelings Run at the thought of having to watch you cry (You never let me cry) (You never let me cry) Never wanted any values, no time for making lasting impressions Not long as I'm alive (Not long as I'm alive) (Not long as I'm alive) [Interlude] I know you did your best And I know I have a habit of pushing people until they leave My style of love is intense, I get it I just wanted a friend I wanted you to be my friend But I guess it worked out, because it was a lesson in Time and space and healing That we all know I wouldn't have given myself So, I don't know Thanks, I guess? I mean You were always worth the wait [Chorus] Well, I guess I could be fake nice, friends without feelings Run at the thought of having to watch you cry (You never let me cry) (You never let me cry) Never wanted any values, no time for making lasting impressions Not long as I'm alive (Not long as I'm alive) (Not long as I'm alive) [Outro] Come closer, won't you let me in? Come closer, won't you let me in? (Come closer, won't you let me in?) Come closer, won't you let me in? (I love you, won't you let me in?)
