Pink Metal - Best Boyfriend Lyrics

Ever since you got some power
You terrorized behind the curtains
You know I am glad to have had you and used you
Even though I would never hurt you

You had to overpower me to feel good inside your shoes
I may be a complete mess but at least that's all on you
And I'm sorry if I'm free, it might sound immature
And I'm sorry if your love didn't send me crying to the floor

I'm so pathetic, at this point it's all for show
I kinda wanna say "I love you" just to hear you say "I don't"
I'm over it and even if you invited me I wouldn't go
I kinda wanna say "I love you" just to hear you say "I don't"
I'm desperate and confused and it was hot a while ago
I kinda wanna say "I love you" just to hear you say "What?"

Hey pretty please
It's all on me
I know I acted like I was your best boy friend
But damn it you can't see me as anything else
And I stepped up like a man when all the others were mean
Oh can it be, that it's everything that you see?
And I drink, and I think, I'll give you a hint
Why don't you just see me?

Cause I spent my youth crying about things I can't change
And I threw away years in a dumpster like paper maché
And I burned every word with a matchstick
Hoping I would be reflected in the flame

So what if it's all gone to waste?
I'd say, you know I can write a thousand more every day
No they won't be the same, but I can write a thousand more every day

Hey pretty please
It's all on me
I know I acted like I was your best boy friend
But damn it you can't see me as anything else
And I stepped up like a man when all the others were mean
Oh can it be, that it's everything that you see?
And I drink, and I think, I'll give you a hint
Why don't you just see me?

And I was reading about Lou and Rachel
But it seems I'm destined to be alone
With my share of daddy issues
And I can't call my mother on the phone

And all these years I liked you
Just to wait until it was too late, and now
And all those years I liked you
Oh line'em up and shoot'em down!

Hey pretty please
It's all on me
I know I acted like I was your best boy friend
But damn it you can't see me as anything else
And I stepped up like a man when all the others were mean
Oh can it be, that it's everything that you see?
And I drink, and I think, I'll give you a hint
Why don't you just see me?
