Me vs Your Friends by The Flat Stanleys Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She said can I come over?
She's sitting in my driveway
I didn't want her this time
I didn't want this my way
I wanted yours instead
Whatever makes you happy
I'll fucking go to bed
I can hear your friends laughing
And they are laughing at me
Don't lie to me I know it
They fucking wanna break me
The way their eyes look show it
And I will probably let them
They'll get what they want
And I will probably help them
They will get what they want
[Verse 2]
He's lying on my bed
I guess he needs his sleep
I think you lost all of my secrets I couldn't speak
And I keep writing poems. Poems I'll never keep
And she keeps knocking on my door when all I want to do is sleep
She hasn't slept for days
I fucking wonder why
She hasn't slept around
She left to go get high
She said she hates her friends 'cause they call her all night
She's turning off her phone, she's going out tonight
[Chorus]
But the notches of your spine are looking sharp tonight
And you think that I won't notice if you mouth the words this time
But I won't pull my punches, I'll use my words to knock your teeth out
One by one and I'll keep count of all of them
Oh, I'll count all of them
[Verse 3]
And could you hold your tears back just for another minute
She said she wants her gift back, she said she thought I'd get it
You say you're friends?
Well what's a friend without a secret you'll pretend doesn't matter?
And I have friends, oh I have friends and they all matter
And they all care about me
She don't know what that's like
She says they wanna fight me
I won't come home tonight
But now the table's turned because I won't fight back
I will just let them hurt me and then the world goes black
I think I know what's coming, and I just don't care
I wanna break my glasses, I wanna dye my hair
So that I can go home, and they won't recognize me
And I can't see them clearly and I won't see our eyes meet
[Chorus]
But the notches of your spine are looking sharp tonight
And you think that I won't notice if you mouth the words this time
But I won't pull my punches, I'll use my words to knock your teeth out
One by one and I'll keep count of all of them
Oh, I'll count
[Bridge]
You're a gas leak and I'm a wood house so we'll both go up in flames
You are running you keep falling and you keep saying we're the same
And there are so many eyes beating down on my bones
You're walking on water with rocks in your shoes just trying to get home
On the count of three, everybody scream (fuck you)
Keeps saying that she might
But I've got friends who disagree and I've got friends who just won't buy it
And am I boring you?
Because you seem to be looking at your phone like it's gonna ring
You could cut my tongue out of my mouth on any given night
And it would not change a thing
[Chorus]
But the notches of your spine are looking sharp tonight
And you think that I won't notice if you mouth the words this time
But I won't pull my punches, I'll use my words to knock your teeth out
One by one and I'll keep count of all of them
Oh, I'll count all of them
Oh, I'll count all of them
She said can I come over?
She's sitting in my driveway
I didn't want her this time
I didn't want this my way
I wanted yours instead
Whatever makes you happy
I'll fucking go to bed
I can hear your friends laughing
And they are laughing at me
Don't lie to me I know it
They fucking wanna break me
The way their eyes look show it
And I will probably let them
They'll get what they want
And I will probably help them
They will get what they want
