Our 10th song, Just about ready as well

This is a song where the lyrics came to me in one go - i was reminiscing about when i was younger and the damage i did to somebody who i knew while at university. I was in a bit of a mess and so was she. Neither of us were in a better state afterwards. In the absence of a sincere "I'm sorry", here is the song that says it for me.

Lyrics->

You were my friend, with benefits, you see?

Convenient intimacy 

Live-in sex, head on tap 

My best buddy, no strings attached 

 

I thought at the time it was mutual

Didn't see how much I was dumb. 

Just happy to be getting some 

 

Never realised you wanted more

How my attitude was hurting you

 

I saw your despair,

And you knew I didn't care

Hindsight's a bitch 

I thought I was better than this.

The only one that benefits

 

It was consensual but now I realise ,

you weren't in a place where you could decide.

No common sense in sight

 

When I realised you wanted more

I kept up leading you on

Watching you swallow

Didn't know I was this hollow

I went and made you my whore

 

Damaged before I met you 

Worse for wear when I left you.

 

You were my friend, with benefits, you see?

The convenience of your  intimacy 

My best buddy, head on tap 

Live-in sex with no strings attached

 

WIth my face between your thighs

I misunderstood your sighs

Damaged before I met you 

Not much better when I left you.
