Backup Friend
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
If there's an odd number I guess I'm not playing
Who else would you leave out
They ask how my day is but then they ignore me
Yet they think they know me so well
Telling stories about me
You're making them doubt me
Build me up just to drag me down
Oh
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I try to give them my best
Seems like the effort's never returned in the end
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
Trying hard to laugh but I'm out of emotions
You don't notice anyways
I watch from a distance as everyone fits in
The silence is feeding my brain
Is there anyone like me
Who's quietly dying
But trying to just laugh it off
Oh
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I try to give them my best
Seems like the effort's never returned in the end
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
But when I start to pull back from all of them
I'm the one with a heart of stone
And even though I put every one of them first
In the end I'm standing all alone
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I try to give them my best
Seems like the effort's never returned in the end
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
Ooh the backup friend
Is there anyone like me who's quietly dying
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
If there's an odd number I guess I'm not playing
Who else would you leave out
They ask how my day is but then they ignore me
Yet they think they know me so well
Telling stories about me
You're making them doubt me
Build me up just to drag me down
Oh
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I try to give them my best
Seems like the effort's never returned in the end
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
Trying hard to laugh but I'm out of emotions
You don't notice anyways
I watch from a distance as everyone fits in
The silence is feeding my brain
Is there anyone like me
Who's quietly dying
But trying to just laugh it off
Oh
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I try to give them my best
Seems like the effort's never returned in the end
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
But when I start to pull back from all of them
I'm the one with a heart of stone
And even though I put every one of them first
In the end I'm standing all alone
I'm always the backup friend
No one needs me until it's convenient for them
And I try to give them my best
Seems like the effort's never returned in the end
And I'll cry on my knees
While you peacefully sleep
Cause I know you'll use me in the end
Cause I'm just the backup
Always the backup friend
Ooh the backup friend
Is there anyone like me who's quietly dying
