The ninth track on Brendan’s album, “Population E.P.” this song is about the moment when you realize that you’ve fallen in love with a friend, and the narrator’s unfortunate situation when that love is unrequited. In his case, this means bitterly contemplating what could have been, calling the other...
[Verse 1: Brendan]
If you weren't so stupid, I could have loved you
And if you weren't so stupid, but you're pretty stupid
And if you weren't so busy, I could have loved you
But you work in an office and you've got other offers
[Pre-Chorus: Brendan]
Tell me what is his name now
What is his name?
I am excited to hear the news
Tell me what is his name now
What does it say about you?
[Chorus: Brendan]
But let's not be friends
Or else this'll never end
Let's not be friends
For sure, for sure
[Verse 2: Brendan]
And if you weren't so ugly, I could've loved you
It's something I tell myself when down
To get high, Lord
[Verse 3: Brendan]
If you made me a coffee, I could've loved you
And I'd make you hot chocolate
And anything you wanted
[Pre-Chorus 2; Brendan]
Tell me who is invited?
So fuckin' delighted
To see all the boys you see
Tell me why don't I fight it?
What does it say about me?
[Chorus: Brendan]
And let's not be friends
Or else this'll never end
Let's not be friends
For sure, for sure
[Outro]
We'd adopt, we'd adopt
I'd have all the things he's got
But I'm not
So let's stop, pretend
That there'll be a happy end
Let's not be friends
For sure
(For sure)
We'd adopt, we'd have dogs
I'd have all the things he's got
But I'm not
