first single release about a mutually toxic friendship

lyrics

3 am, held your head in my hands
I was your safest place to rest
Stumbling through, baby never had a clue
My life was cleaning up your mess

You don’t owe me shit
But I thought you’d never quit
You know I thought I’d always be your quickest fix
But your nights are better spent
All tangled up in him
I never knew how beat I was until you dipped

I don’t pick up my phone when I know it’s you
I should just cut you off, but it’s so hard to do
We could just cruise, but for what, we been running low on love,
You don’t pick up the phone, I know you know it too

Harder hits made me your addiction
My pillow was home to all your tears
Drunk on white wine, disco in the daylight
Your failures shushed all my deepest fears

You don’t owe me shit
But I thought you’d never quit me
You know I thought I’d always be your quickest fix
But your nights are better spent
All tangled up in him
I never knew how beat I was until you dipped
And now

I don’t pick up my phone when I know it’s you
I should just cut you off, but it’s so hard to do
We could just cruise, but for what, we been running low on love,
You don’t pick up the phone, I know you know it too
