friEND request

Verse 1

You only call me when the mirror's cold

When the spotlight's not enough

You take my stories, make them your own gold

Leave me picking up the dust

Pre-Chorus

And I used to think we were the same

Two halves of a broken game

But I'm just a name in your hall of fame

Chorus

Friend request, friend request

You want my heart but not the rest

Friend request, friend request

I'm not your mirror, not your guest

Post-Chorus

No, no, no

I'm not your guest

Verse 2

Every conversation's a monologue

You're performing for the crowd

I'm standing back in the fog

Wonderin' when you'll say my name out loud

Pre-Chorus

I used to think it was just me

Too sensitive, too hard to please

But you're a show with only one marquee

Chorus

Friend request, friend request

You want my heart but not the rest

Friend request, friend request

I'm not your mirror, not your guest

Post-Chorus

No, no, no

I'm not your guest

Bridge

Maybe I'm the one who stayed too long

Believing in a song

That you never really sang

Just a hollow, empty clang

Chorus

Friend request, friend request

You want my love but not the mess

Friend request, friend request

I was never really blessed
