lyrics

what a fine line friendship is
it could be that one day and then be this
don’t wanna point the finger or put the blame,
but all this back and forth and spinning’s driving me insane
i’ve gotta get a hold of things once more
and maybe feel like i’m not flat on the floor, because
there’s only so much i can take and right now
i’m about to fucking break?

feel like i’m losing my mind
my mind...

but we never seem to be the same
yeah, things always seemed to change from day to day…
and all the times we tried to make amends,
i guess we should have seen that we were just hand-me-down friends…

yesterday has come and gone, and yet
i sit right here and sing this song, i guess
it seems to be too cut and dry
and it’s really really silly to wonder why i could
ever find something so true
all wrapped up in that mess that used to be you, but
things have changed, my back is sore
from all those count and countless knives you’ve used before…

but we never seem to be the same
yeah, things always seemed to change from day to day…
and all the times we tried to make amends,
i guess we should have seen that we were just hand-me-down friends…

we were just hand-me-down friends…
we were just hand-me-down friends…
we were just hand-me-down friends…

two steps back, it doesn’t look the same
i can see right through your fucking game and i
could really even give a shit
because your payment has come just like a hit
to your vein straight through your heart
and now your vices are tearing you apart
i don’t feel a bit of slight remorse
because things have seemed to run their course

but we never seem to be the same
only advice i have is that you stay away
and maybe you’ll get by if you pretend
now that i've seen and heard that you were just a hand-me-down friend

stop, stop, stop , stop…
stop lookin’ at me like as if you could even care.
