[Intro]
You come over when the city hurts
Leave before the daylight starts to blame
You call it complicated
I call it Friday night

[Verse 1]
You sleep sideways in my T-shirt
Half the makeup still on your face
Takeout boxes and the cheap red wine
Another Friday gone to waste

You say, “Don’t make this complicated”
Like we ever had a plan
I light a smoke out by the fire escape
You laugh and steal it from my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t stay
But you don’t leave
We keep talking like we mean something

[Chorus]
You come over when the city hurts
Leave before the morning learns our names
We’re no good at love, we’re good at damage
Still playing house inside the wreckage

I don’t ask where you disappear
You don’t ask why I need you here
Maybe this is all we got
A little broken, a little not

[Verse 2]
Your shoes still live beside my doorway
Like they forgot what leaving means
You say you breathe a little easier here
Than chasing perfect in your dreams

We fight about the smallest things
Who called less, who cared too much
Then fall asleep like strangers do
Still waking up in accidental love

[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t stay
But you don’t leave
Guess we’re scared of what distance means

[Chorus]
You come over when the city hurts
Leave before the daylight starts to blame
We’re no good at love, we’re good at damage
Still making jokes inside the sadness

I don’t ask where you disappear
You don’t ask why I keep you near
Maybe this is all we got
Half alive and half forgot

[Bridge]
Say goodbye
Then stay all night

Tell me lies
That feel alright

Break my heart
In slow rewind

We’re a bad idea
At the perfect time

[Final Chorus]
You come over when the city hurts
Leave before the morning says too much
We’re no good at love, we’re good at damage
Still holding on to something tragic

Maybe someday we’ll figure out
Why we burn just to put it out
Maybe this is all we got
A little broken, yeah, maybe not

[Outro]
You call it complicated
I call it Friday night
