"Friendly Fire" lyrics

"Friendly Fire"

We had a mutual friend who played cupid
You jumped in my bed and been there ever since
Teenage affection is often confusing
I'm starting to feel like it's wearing thin

Darling I don't remember how I'm supposed to feel at your place
When we're watching TV
And if you start to wonder why I just stare into space
When you're talking to me

You were there, where was I?
Know that somewhere down the line
If I hurt you it's just friendly fire
Well it happens all the time
Guess I'm broken by design
If I burn you it's all friendly fire

We had a shelf life but neither believed it
We just gave up reading the signs
I made conversation to fill every silence
And put on my headphones and cried

It's been a cold December, God knows that I've been a state
Oh woe is me, I know, but you're making plans forever
But God knows if I'm gonna stay
Or if I'd rather be alone

You were there, where was I?
Know that somewhere down the line
If I hurt you it's just friendly fire
Well it happens all the time
Guess I'm broken by design
If I burn you it's all friendly fire
