lyrics

oh, i know we're not friends
what we're called, that still depends
i don't know if this dinner
was an inside joke or if you misspoke
if you can't tell the difference
between a lie and a smile that is genuine
what's the point of making friends
if you keep on mistaking them?
if I can't tell if we are gonna be friends

now i think i know what you meant
when you said
it was supposed to be a compliment
the more i try,
the more you disguise
your up and down replies like a Theremin
repeating lines
before they bend
for just another flag that gets tangled up in problems.
turning redder than a feather,
than the feather of a robin.
now i can't tell if we are gonna be friends
are we really having fun?
or is it really war you want?

why is it fun to treat me like a loaded gun?
