Lyrics

i knew it'd end eventually
but did it have to be so soon?
predictable, like clockwork
she calls, you leave the room
i'm a risky spender
investments, no return
you will always choose her
and i will never learn

too much to ask
there's the drive
then the crash

thought i was a landmark on your roadmap
but no, i'm just a smudge
the same old stupid cycle
commit, give in, give up
we're friends, right?
we're friends
we're friends, but that's not enough

throw away the constant
go on, worship the fleeting
i'll be the perfect placeholder
my trust can take a beating
a stain upon your windshield
a brief and passing spot
i'm spiraling straight downward
on this roundabout circle of thought

too much to ask
there's the drive
then the crash

thought i was a landmark on your roadmap
but no, i'm just a smudge
the same old stupid cycle
commit, give in, give up
we're friends, right?
we're friends
we're friends, but that's not enough

first arrival, second choice
what else should i expect?
completely and madly inevitable
this'll have to end in a wreck
this'll have to end in a wreck

thought i was a landmark on your roadmap
but no, i'm just a smudge
the same old stupid cycle
commit, give in, give up
we're friends, right?
we're friends
we're friends, but that's not enough
we're friends, but that's not enough
we're friends, but that's not enough

love the prechorus! the additional repititions of "we're friends, but that's not enough" pump up the ending, i'm getting vibes of like softening the instrumental as you play it out but keeping the vocals the same, maybe adding some vibrato/a more emotional performance
great work!
