A Friend To All Is A Friend To None

Well I've got issues from here to minnesota
and I coulda sworn, woulda thought I told you but
If you're asking me these things then I guess I didn't
or maybe you're just so high that you fucking missed it again

Well I hope you learn the words
I hope you sing along
I hope you write this in your diary
pouring tears all over my songs

these things, these words just don't register
you're dyslexic when you're drunk
and now you're taking it back, no returns
when you've torn all the tags off and you're soaking wet from all the scorn,
and all the wars, that you wake up just to fight every night

well I hope you learn the words
and I hope you sing along
I hope you scribble this on napkins
coffee stains on every one of my songs

take another hit, girl, take another
and when you hit the floor
you move your feet like no other
well take another hit, girl, take another
and when you hit the floor
you'll stay passed out til you're sober

so tell a story
tell a lie
tell a secret after you said that you'd keep it
smile some more
lie with him tonight
I'll tell all your secrets, you better wish that you had kept that

trying not to fall into that same cliche
it's what I'm best at, it's what I'm best at
and when I don't, I hope you see the day
when you wish you were right here by my side

Well I hope you learn the words
I hope you sing along
I hope you write this in your diary
pouring tears all over my songs
well I hope you learn the words
and I hope you sing along
I hope you scribble this on napkins
coffee stains on every one of my songs

Well I hope you learn my words
and I hope you play along
I hope you write this on your hands
and remember it forever long
