Friends With Benefits
Pure intentions, so naive, I was only 23
Didn't know 'til you showed me friendship could be currency
I thought of you like family for three years of my life
But I'm finally understanding what made me worth your time
It's unsettling to know I gave my love
For you to smash it in, it never was enough
Traded my time like merchandise, and I'm the one who paid the price
Friends with benefits, but I didn't benefit at
All, oh
Mhm (mhm)
Who knew you were keeping score?
Thought I was different, could've sworn
We'd be each other's maids of honor, stay in touch as we got older
I guess I was wrong
And it's unsettling to know I gave my love
For you to smash it in, it never was enough
Traded my time like merchandise, I'm the one who paid the price
Friends with benefits, but I didn't benefit at
All, oh
Ah-oh-ah-ah
And when you tell this story, bet I play the villain
You put yourself before me and still play the victim
When I was in a crisis and needed a friend
Tell me, where were you then?
Yeah, it's unsettling to realize the version of you
I had in my head was my imagination
I gave you everything, you took it all at my expense
Friends with benefits, but I didn't benefit at
All, oh, not at all
Hmm
Didn't know 'til you showed me friendship could be currency
I thought of you like family for three years of my life
But I'm finally understanding what made me worth your time
It's unsettling to know I gave my love
For you to smash it in, it never was enough
Traded my time like merchandise, and I'm the one who paid the price
Friends with benefits, but I didn't benefit at
All, oh
Mhm (mhm)
Who knew you were keeping score?
Thought I was different, could've sworn
We'd be each other's maids of honor, stay in touch as we got older
I guess I was wrong
And it's unsettling to know I gave my love
For you to smash it in, it never was enough
Traded my time like merchandise, I'm the one who paid the price
Friends with benefits, but I didn't benefit at
All, oh
Ah-oh-ah-ah
And when you tell this story, bet I play the villain
You put yourself before me and still play the victim
When I was in a crisis and needed a friend
Tell me, where were you then?
Yeah, it's unsettling to realize the version of you
I had in my head was my imagination
I gave you everything, you took it all at my expense
Friends with benefits, but I didn't benefit at
All, oh, not at all
Hmm
