Circle the Drain
"This is the last time, " you say
After the last line, you break
It's not even a holiday
Nothin' to celebrate ('brate, 'brate, 'brate)
You give a hundred reasons why
And say you're really gonna try
If I had a nickel for every time
I'd own the bank (bank, bank, bank)
Thought that I was the exception
I could rewrite your addiction
You could've been the greatest
But you'd rather get wasted
You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down (down)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother
Can't be your savior, I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain
You say it helps you write your rhymes
Whatever helps you sleep at night
You've become what you despise
A stereotype-type-type-type
You think you're so rock 'n' roll
But you're really just a joke
Had the world in the palm of your hands
But you fuckin' choked
Should've been my teammate
Could've changed your fate
You say that you love me
You won't remember in the morning
You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down (oh-oh)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother
Can't be your savior, I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain
You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forte
I'm not stickin' around (I'm not stickin' around)
To watch you go down (I'm not stickin' around)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother
Can't be your savior, I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain
You're goin' down, you're goin' down
You're goin' down, you're goin' down, down, down
You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down
After the last line, you break
It's not even a holiday
Nothin' to celebrate ('brate, 'brate, 'brate)
You give a hundred reasons why
And say you're really gonna try
If I had a nickel for every time
I'd own the bank (bank, bank, bank)
Thought that I was the exception
I could rewrite your addiction
You could've been the greatest
But you'd rather get wasted
You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down (down)
Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother
Can't be your savior, I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain
You say it helps you write your rhymes
Whatever helps you sleep at night
You've become what you despise

Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain
You fall asleep during foreplay

Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother
Can't be your savior, I don't have the power
I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain
Watch you circle the drain
You're goin' down, you're goin' down
You're goin' down, you're goin' down, down, down
You fall asleep during foreplay
'Cause the pills you take are more your forté
I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down
