[Verse 1]
I've been living on a handout
You put your loving on the line, hope it pans out
But, you've been looking at a man down
Only a matter of time before you find out

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't keep pretending that this shit ain't pathetic
You think that you can end it, but I think I know better than that
One day, you're gonna walk out
'Cause you gave me all the care, and I think it finally ran out

[Chorus]
How many times 'til you let go?
Flake on your plans to help me cope
And convince me we won't be here
Again, and again, and again, and again
How many nights do I have left
'Til you decide that I'm a mess?
I'm the problem, always at your expense
I'd hate to be my friend

[Verse 2]
I've been living through a breakdown (breakdown)
Every threat inside my head's about to break out
No, I could never seem to shake how
I know it's gonna end
But, I don't know
[Chorus]
How many times 'til you let go?
Flake on your plans to help me cope
And convince me we won't be here
Again, and again, and again, and again
How many nights do I have left
'Til you decide that I'm a mess?
I'm the problem, always at your expense
I'd hate to be my friend

[Bridge]
(I'd hate to be my friend, yeah)
(Oh, god, it's so damn pathetic, you keep on forgetting)
(You don't wanna end it, but we go again and again)
(All the sudden, I breakdown)
(We're going again, and again, and again)

[Chorus]
How many times 'til you let go?
Flake on your plans to help me cope
And convince me we won't be here
Again, and again, and again, and again (Oh, no)
How many nights do I have left
'Til you decide that I'm a mess?
I'm the problem, always at your expense
I'd hate to be my friend
