benefits

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

Emphasize it's casual

With hands around my waist

I'll romanticize the warmth

As your cold hands caress my face

With this gentleness inside you

Like the time is ours to bend

And it's awful, and I know it

How I let you

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

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

I know it's all one in the same for you

And I'm crossing a line when

I ask 'bout 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

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

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
