Friends

You recite the lines that make you feel important
I try to interject but you cut me off and won't let me speak
You say that I'm too weak
And that you don't feel like talking
No, you don't feel like talking
About how I feel

Your life's a mess and so's mine but the difference
Between you and me is that only one of us cares
About the other's affairs
Because you don't feel like talking
No, you don't feel like talking
About anyone but yourself

'Cause maybe I might take a plane down
And you could show me 'round the whole town
But your ego's the only thing you'll ever care about

I recite the reasons that I feel so upset
You know what to say that you think might actually help me
Oh god, you wish you could tell me
But I never stop talking
No, I never stop talking
About how I feel

You give me kind words and try your best to love me
But it only ever seems that I'm out to upset you
Or that I fucking resent you
Because I never stop talking
No, I never stop talking
About anyone but myself

'Cause baby you could take a train down
And I could show you 'round the whole town
But my ego's the only thing I'll ever care about

We can try for our whole lives
To tell ourselves that we really care
And even though we're all lying
We'll never stop trying

'Cause baby I might take a plane down
And baby you could take a train down
But ourselves are the only things we'll ever care about
