Bad Friend

Headlights out on a one-way drive

Running from my own advice

Say to you, "Darling, don't think twice"

We were dancing out on a frozen lake

Waiting for the ice to break

We just never knew that our love had weight

I kept pulling on the cords

You needed me and I needed more

It was my fault that you cut it off

Guess I read it wrong, what a waste of it all

I didn't know what I'd lose

Falling in love with you

You called me a bad friend

Was I a bad friend?

17, in my room

I didn't know the rules

Of being a good man

But was I a bad friend?

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Was I a bad friend?

Couldn't see your tears in the pouring rain (you wash over)

You were always washed away

Eyes were amused, and I was weak (and I was weak)

Wish you could know all the ways I've changed

You're numbing me like Novocain

I don't even have another shot to take (mm-mm, mm-mm, mm)

I kept pulling on the chords

You needed me and I needed more (ah)

It was my fault that you cut it off (ah)

Guess I read it wrong, what a waste of it all

I didn't know what I'd lose

Falling in love with you

You called me a bad friend

Was I a bad friend?

17, in my room

I didn't know the rules

Of being a good man

But was I a bad friend?

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Was I a bad friend?

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm, mm-mm

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

Was I a bad friend?

We were dancing out on a frozen lake

Waiting for the ice to break

You just never knew that our love had weight
