Lyrics

[Verse 1]

This is the last time, you say

After the last line you break

It's not even a holiday

Nothing to celebrate

[Verse 2]

You give a hundred reasons why

And say you're really gonna try

If I had a nickel for every time

I'd own the bank

[Verse 3]

Thought that I was the exception

I could reroute your addiction

You could've been the greatest

But you'd rather get wasted

[Verse 4]

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around to watch you go down

Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

[Verse 5]

You say you have to write your rhymes

Whatever helps you sleep at night

You've become what you despise, a stereotype

[Verse 6]

You think you're so rock and roll (Roll)

But you're really just a joke (Joke)

Had the world in the palm of your hands

But you fucking choked

[Verse 7]

Should've been my team mate

Could've change your fate

You say that you love me

You won't remember in the morning

[Verse 8]

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around to watch you go down

Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

[Verse 9]

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around

(I'm not sticking around) To watch you go down

(I'm not sticking around)

Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

[Verse 10]

Watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain

[Verse 11]

You're going down, you're going down

You're going down, you're going down

[Verse 12]

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not sticking around to watch you go down
