Fickle Fake Friend

from Courage by the deadnotes

/

lyrics

at a loss for words
I can‘t take the bad blood anymore
It strikes me where it hurts
We‘re both silent witnesses
So trapped in our weaknesses

I haven‘t been myself
spraypainting pictures on the wall
you can shut your eyes
but it‘s plain to see
a fickle fake friend isn‘t what I need

I feel nothing, nothing, nothing
count me out
cut the loose end of it now
(nothing at all)

too shy, too ashamed
where there‘s a will
there‘s a way
but I‘m wrapped up in my plans
I avow
I don‘t find comfort in what‘s here and now

and you‘ve entirely been yourself
removing the dried dye from the wall
no it can‘t be seen with the naked eye
A good friend is all I‘ve ever tried to find

I feel nothing, nothing, nothing
count me out
cut the loose end of it now
(nothing at all)

I was barely even rushing
not aware
what you left up your sleeve for me
You tried to be there

hold me back
if I could go back in time
bring me back
I swear that I would make it right
we can‘t win back the time we missed out together

let me feel something, something, something
instead of nothing, nothing, nothing
count on me
you can always count on me

and though I am a coward
don‘t seem to show the
courage to be vulnerable
I see a future in you
can you still see a future in me, too?
