This is the last time you say

After the last line you break

It's not even a holiday, nothin' to celebrate

You give a hundred reasons why

And say you're really gonna try

If I had a nickel for every time

I'd own the bank-bank-bank-bank

I thought that I was the exception

I could rewrite your addiction

You could've been the greatest

But you'd rather get wasted

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down

Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

You say it helps you write your rhymes

Whatever helps you sleep at night

You become what you despise

A stereotype-type-type-type

You think you're so rock 'n roll

But you're really just a joke

Had the world in the palm of your hands

But you fuckin' choked

Should've been my teammate

Could've changed your fate

You say that you love me

You won't remember in the morning

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down

Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not stickin' around (I'm not stickin' around) to watch you go down (I'm not stickin' around)

Wanna be your lover, not your fuckin' mother

Can't be your savior, I don't have the power

I'm not gonna stay and watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

Watch you circle the drain, watch you circle the drain

You're goin' down, you're goin' down, you're goin' down...

You fall asleep during foreplay

'Cause the pills you take are more your forte

I'm not stickin' around to watch you go down
