WHITE KNIGHT [Intro] Oh, look who showed up. My personal superhero. You bring flowers? Or just another opinion? [Verse 1] Two in the morning, you're lighting my phone, Funny how you call when you know I'm alone. You heard we were fighting, you heard it got bad, Now you're telling me things about the man that I had. Got a sympathetic ear and a practiced sigh, Got a thousand little reasons why he's not my guy. You say I'm too good for the life that I've got, But you're watching that door like you're next in the slot. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you're different? Oh, you're kind? Is that your heart talking, Or your little one-track mind? [Chorus] "I'd never treat you like that!" YEAH, I'VE HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE! "I'd never treat you like that!" THEN WHY YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE? WHITE KNIGHT! YOUR HALO'S ON TOO TIGHT! WHITE KNIGHT! WHO YOU SAVING TONIGHT? [Verse 2] You remember every secret, every tear I ever shed, Got a little list of favors running circles in your head. You laugh at all my jokes, you agree with every word, You're the most convenient conscience that I've ever fucking heard. Now I tell you I'm not interested, and suddenly you change. I'm a bitch, I'm ungrateful, now you're acting all deranged. That halo hit the sidewalk, didn't make a single sound. Funny how a real nice guy can turn himself around. [Breakdown] WAIT! WAIT! WAIT YOUR TURN! OH, YOU GOT YOUR FEELINGS HURT? YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD ME FIGURED OUT? YOU THOUGHT YOU'D GET WHAT YOU DESERVED? TOO BAD! [Chorus] "I'd never treat you like that!" YEAH, I'VE HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE! "I'd never treat you like that!" THEN WHY YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE? WHITE KNIGHT! YOUR HALO'S ON TOO TIGHT! WHITE KNIGHT! WHO YOU SAVING TONIGHT? [Bridge] You know what? You're right about one thing. I deserve better. Better than him. And better than you. I didn't ask for a replacement. I needed a friend. But you were already measuring how much you could get. [Breakdown] YOU AIN'T MY SAVIOR! YOU'RE JUST NEXT IN LINE! YOU AIN'T MY SAVIOR! QUIT WASTING MY FUCKING TIME! [Verse 3] There's nothing wrong with wanting. There's nothing wrong with lust. But don't mistake my problems For an invitation to my trust. Keep your flowers, keep your favors. Keep your sympathetic grin. You don't get a consolation prize For pretending to be my friend. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, you're different? Oh, you're kind? THEN DO SOMETHING DECENT WITHOUT A PRIZE IN MIND! [Final Chorus] "I'd never treat you like that!" YEAH, I'VE HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE! "I'd never treat you like that!" THEN WHY YOU KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE? WHITE KNIGHT! YOUR HALO'S ON TOO TIGHT! WHITE KNIGHT! WHO YOU SAVING TONIGHT? [Final Breakdown] YOU WANT TO SAVE SOMEBODY? START WITH YOURSELF! I DON'T OWE YOU LOVE! I DON'T OWE YOU SHIT! TAKE YOUR FUCKING HALO! AND GET OVER IT! [Outro] Nice guy, huh? Yeah. Sure you are.
