[Verse 1]
If I was a payphone you'd use me up and take some
Quarters from my bank
And it wouldn’t matter if I tried, my heart dangles on a coiled line
Wrapped around your waist
You want me 'til you're satisfied
I piss you off and pretend to cry
I’m lying to your face
[Pre-Chorus]
Throwing quarters down the kitchen sink
Now 'cause I'm something that you never even think about
Hope the drain clogs up when I turn the water on
[Chorus]
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend in the front yard
How you're halfway in and you're so sure that it's my fault
I'm just a friend and I could pretеnd that I forgive you in the end but it’s too hard
It’s just a slap in thе face
And we're still on first base
[Verse 2]
If you touch me like you care to keep, would I take pills just to fall asleep?
Lonely when I wake
Hanging from your lifeline, I wish you’d wanna hold me in the morning time
So patiently I pace
[Pre-Chorus]
And I see you every time I blink
Now your reflection's in the kitchen sink
How could I care so much when you don't care at all?
[Chorus]
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend in the front yard
How you’re halfway in and you're so sure that it's my fault
I'm just a friend and I could pretend that I forgive you in the end but it's too hard
It's just a slap in the face
We're still on first base
[Bridge]
Ooh, I wish I was, I wish I was with you
Wish I was, I wish I could see through
Oh, kiss me with the lights on in your room
I wish I was, I wish I was
How could you say, how could you say, how could you say
How could you say, how could you say, how could you say
[Chorus]
'Cause I heard what you said to an old friend in the front yard
How you're halfway in and you're so sure that it's my fault
And I could pretend that I forgive you in the end but it's too hard
It's just a slap in the face
We're still on first base
