benefits

[Verse 1] Tell me every shitty thing that's ever happened to ya I could be your one night stand, a fevered hallelujah Baby, when you look at me, I only empathize ‘Cause I know it must be scathing in that prison of your mind [Verse 2] Emphasize it's casual with hands around my waist I'll romanticize the warmth as your cold hands caress my face With the gentleness inside you Like the time is ours to bend [Pre-Chorus] And it's awful, and I know it How I let you [Chorus] Let you get the benefits Let you get thе benefits ‘Cause thеre's no telling what it is We're turning labels into sins And I know that we're just friends But I let you [Verse 3] Tell me every traumatizing thing that makes this happen Do you fear abandonment? Or really just attachment? Did your mother raise you right? Or did the media consume you? Feed me lies ‘cause it's just how our generation moves [Pre-Chorus] I know it's all one and the same for you And I'm crossing a line when I ask about your other lovers ‘Cause God knows you aren't mine And the worst part is I don't feel like I can handle when it ends And I'm awful, and I know it ‘Cause I let you [Chorus] Let you get the benefits Let you get the benefits 'Cause there's no telling what it is We're turning labels into sins And I know that we're just friends But I let you [Instrumental Bridge] [Outro] You don't get the benefits Without tying me down After two months of this bullshit I might finally stand my ground 'Cause I don't dare to say we're friends But I don't dare to say we're lovers Feels like any way I put it Tucks you further in my covers You don't get the benefits Without tying me down After two months of this bullshit I might finally stand my ground 'Cause I don't dare to say we're friends But I don't dare to say we're lovers Feels like any way I put it It'll die come end of summer
