[Verse 1]
When I need it so badly I come to defend
Is there any way to tell me that you're gonna be a terrible friend?
You remind me of a distant constellation, the way you cover it up but don't let me touch
So now you want to know, is that important? Baby, now, well it just depends, it just depends

[Verse 2]
And when you come back uptown, remember not to look for me there
I give you one more chance to make it better but you don't seem to care
You pretend to be accosted by tradition and now you cover it up and tell me you don't
Well, now you want to know, is nothing sacred? And I don't want to have to compare, they don't compare

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
When I see your friends they say it's in my head
All my friends seem to think you might leave me for dead
Don't remember if it's cost or complication; it keeps leaving it out and cover it up
And if you want to know I won't confront you with all the stupid things that you said
