"Stand Me Up" lyrics

"Stand Me Up"

I cannot pretend that we are friends when we are lovers
Oh, my hands are tied, all in your bind, you got me uncovered
Now why don't you just move along and sing a song somewhere else
I know they're just pretty lies, those pretty rhymes you sing
Why do you come around and let me down again?

Stand me up and I ain't gon' do this again
Give it up, so long, my fair-weather friend

You come at 4AM, you're on again 'bout your life as a rock star
Well take me with you, take me with you, take me
I'm tired of singin' the same bars
Laughter at those weightless words that fly like birds to the sky
I don't know how you pull me in
I'm leanin' in, don't know why
Why do you come around and let me down again?

Stand me up and I ain't gon' do this again
Give it up, so long, my fair-weather friend

So long, so long
I've been lovin' you, baby
For so long
Still you come around and knock me down again

Stand me up and I ain't gon' do this again
Give it up, so long, my fair-weather friend
Stand me up and I ain't gon' do this again (No, no, no, no)
Give it up, so long, my fair-weather friend
