set me off, i know i do
and if we start from the top, does that mean that i lose?
nothing ever comes to mind
when you remind me of the times we spent together that were fun.
and even if you let your imagination run, it doesn't mean it happened
and even if you make things up, it doesn't mean that i am glad to pick up phone calls at 3am just 'cause you were bored while
hearing your friends laugh as you mumble on how you have to go.
you can shake your head all you want
but you won't come close
you can bring all you've got but you won't get a clear shot
i've got nothing to lose
it's not me or you
i've just got so much else to do.
hear me out
i am quite soft
and if i taste the ground, does that mean that i lost?
fuck off honestly, i know you call me your bestie, but you message me like once a month.
and even if you let your imagination run, it doesn't mean it happened
and even if you make things up, we're only friends because i have to pick you up when you've fallen down, stay up until sunrise
only for you to realise that "she's not your type".
you can shake your head all you want
but you won't come close
you can bring all you've got but you won't get a clear shot
i've got nothing to lose
it's not me or you
i've just got so much else to do.
