[Chorus]
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, ooh
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, yeah
[Verse 1]
I don’t really care if I make it at this point
And I don’t want the pool, you can have it
And fill it full of people who only wanna be you
Who only wanna see you when you’re winning
And I don’t really care if I get to make that speech
The one I wrote in 2016
I wrote it on my phone coming back from Trader Joe’s
Feeling like some day I’m gonna go and win it
[Pre-Chorus]
And I guess I got perspective when you burned me
On what you’d do so people won’t forget your name
Nah
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, ooh
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, ooh
I’m not gonna walk over my friends to save my ego
A hundred thousand people singing along
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, for that
Don’t wanna grow old and be lonely
Grow old and be lonely
[Verse 2]
Here’s to everyone who said that “this is just the business”
Guess you were just more willing to accept it
And all I ever wanted was to write a couple songs and
Hope somebody hears ‘em when they need ‘em
So you can keep the houses and the private jets
They won’t hold you close when you get overwhelmed
A hundred million fans, but no one’s ever around when you come home
[Chorus]
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, all the money in the world
I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, cause my dad said I deserve it
I’m not gonna bury all my friends to save my ego
A hundred thousand people singing along
No I’m not gonna walk over my friends for that, for that
Don’t wanna grow old and be lonely
Grow old and be lonely
Grow old and be lonely
Grow old and be lonely
Grow old and be lonely
Grow old and be lonely
