You know how to push my buttons
You love to crawl under my skin
You know how to crank up my dial
And in the blink of an eye
Send me
Down, down, down
Again.
The lowest of lows
And the highest of highs
Used to blend into my favorite colour
But cloud nine seems so far away when I’m
Drowning in our tears
The beaming light you shine
Hides a ball of fire inside
That burns up the world around me
Leaving me with nothing
The venom I once got drunk off of
Now leaves a lump in my throat
I used to feel like nothing I could say would break us
But now my feet are cut up from the eggshells I step on when I’m with you
I thought what we have was healthy
But I feel so alone when I’m with you
I thought we were on the same page
But we’re not even in the same chapter
I don’t want a sequel
I need our painful story to be over

You know how to crank up my dial
And in the blink of an eye
Send me
Down, down, down
Again.

Used to blend into my favorite colour
But cloud nine seems so far away when I’m
Drowning in our tears
The beaming light you shine
Hides a ball of fire inside

Leaving me with nothing
The venom I once got drunk off of
Now leaves a lump in my throat
I used to feel like nothing I could say would break us
But now my feet are cut up from the eggshells I step on when I’m with you
I thought what we have was healthy
But I feel so alone when I’m with you
I thought we were on the same page
But we’re not even in the same chapter
I don’t want a sequel
I need our painful story to be over
The trials and tribulations of friendship.
