ur just lonely
GAYLE Lyrics

I sent you straight to hell
I exposed the darker parts of your personality and made you confront them

Showed you new sides of yourself
I revealed aspects of your character that you were unaware of

Took scissors to your chastity belt
I broke down the barriers you had set up to protect yourself emotionally

Then you screwed me over
But in return, you betrayed and hurt me

You lied, you lied just a little
You deceived me, even if it was just a small lie

I guess I liked it a little
I admit that I found some allure in your deceit

I let it slide every single time, but I'm gettin' bored, ugh
I forgave your lies repeatedly, but now I'm growing tired and fed up

You don't wanna be friends, you're just lonely
You desire companionship, but only because you are feeling isolated and empty

And drunk at 2 AM in the mornin'
Your attempts to reach out to me come when you are intoxicated and vulnerable in the early hours of the day

Say you've changed and you mean it
You claim that you have transformed and you genuinely believe it

Say everything's different, but I think I'd rather sleep in
You insist that everything has changed, but I would prefer to stay in bed and avoid this situation

You don't wanna be friends, you're just lonely
You don't truly desire a genuine friendship; you are simply seeking solace in someone's company

You don't wanna be my friend
You don't genuinely want to establish a close bond with me

You just wanna see me naked again
Your intentions are purely sexual; you only want to engage in intimate acts with me

The more I get to know ya
As I continue to understand you better

The more I wish I never did
I find myself regretting the knowledge I have gained about you

Those things that I can't take back
The actions I committed that cannot be undone

My nails runnin' down your back
The physical and passionate encounters we had

Who the hell are you tryna kid
Who do you think you're fooling?

When you tell yourself we got somethin'?
How can you convince yourself that we have a genuine connection?

Hit me up just to turn me on
You reach out to me purely for your own pleasure and arousal

And then turn me down like it's nothin'
But then you reject me as if it means nothing to you

You don't (you don't) wanna (wanna) be my (be my) friend
You truly don't desire a meaningful friendship with me

You just (you just) wanna (wanna) see me naked again
Your only interest is in engaging in sexual activity with me once more

You don't wanna be my friend
Establishing a genuine friendship is not your true intention

You just wanna always know that you can
You simply want the assurance that you can have me whenever you please

I know you think I'm a fool and you're smooth, but you're not
You may believe that you can manipulate me and that you are charming, but you're mistaken

You've been obsessin' over a night I forgot
You have been fixating on a particular evening that I have long since moved on from

Maybe deep down, you just wanna get caught
Perhaps deep inside, you actually desire to be exposed and confronted for your actions

I don't just stay friends and you already missed your shot
I don't settle for remaining friends, and you have already lost your chance with me

So tell me
Now, please confess to me

You don't wanna be friends, you're just lonely
Your intentions of wanting friendship stem from a place of loneliness rather than genuine connection

And drunk at 2 AM in the mornin'
You reach out to me when you are intoxicated and vulnerable in the early hours of the day

Say you've changed and you mean it
You insist that you have transformed, and you genuinely believe it

Say everything's different, but I think I'd rather sleep in
You claim that everything is different now, but I would prefer to avoid this situation by staying in bed

You don't wanna be friends, you're just lonely
Your desire for friendship is fueled by a sense of isolation and emptiness
