Lyrics

Famous Friend

[Verse 1]

Famous friend, why are you telling lies again?

All your stories start out boring

But I'm laughing 'til I'm crying in the end

We'll see how to cut along the seam

Separate you from the notion that you're something I could never try to be myself

Only for somebody else

In your car I couldn't tell how to tell

So try to be cool

[Verse 2]

Hated friend, why are you coming round again?

Pissing out your insecurities to people who don't need you now

They've found someone who can have a little fun

It makes you wonder how you ever felt affection for somebody who could hate you so

Oh, I'd really like to know what it takes to say, "I am strong."

I am strong
