[Verse] Ashtray halo glowing over your drink tonight Short fuse on your tongue You say you love me but you bite every word that you write Short laugh then you run You call me sunshine like an insult in neon light Short burn then you’re done [Chorus] I’m not your buddy friend Short line like a slap You’re not my sweetheart pal Short line then a snap You’re just my almost enemy my kind of tender feud again Short line we collapse [Verse 2] You lean on my shoulder just to whisper that I talk too loud Short cruel prayer You say I’m pretty in a way that makes the ceiling proud Short dead stare Love is a joke you tell softly to silence the crowd Short truth hanging there [Prechorus] Are we flirting or fighting or both at the same damn time tonight Short spark Your mouth writes riddles that my lonely little ego likes to bite Short dark [Chorus] I’m not your buddy friend Short jab quick sting You’re not my darling ace Short cheap ring You’re just my favorite accident my late night public argument Short line we sing [Bridge] Call me stranger babe call me trouble call me what you will Short and sly Every little nickname like a bar tab I forgot to fill Short dry If I’m not your buddy honey why you staying here still Short sigh
