So I could take the C#mback road
But your eyes will lead me stAraight back hBome
And if you kAnow me like I kEnow you
You should Blove me, you should know
[Chorus]
That fEriends just sleep in another F#mbed
And fAriends don't tBreat me like you dEo
Well C#mI know that there's a Alimit to everythEing
But my Afriends won't Blove me like yEou
No my Afriends won't Blove me like yEou
