Friends With Benefits Lyrics

Pure intentions, so naive

I was only twenty three

Didn't know til you showed me

Friendship could be currency

I thought of you like family

For three years of my life

But I'm finally understanding

What made me worth your time

It's unsettling

To know I gave my love while you just measured it

It never was enough

Treated my time

Like merchandise

And I'm the one who paid the price

Friends with benefits

But I didn't benefit at all

Who knew you were keeping score

Thought I was different, could've sworn

We'd be each other's maids of honor

Stay in touch as we got older

I guess I was wrong

It's unsettling

To know I gave my love while you just measured it

It never was enough

Treated my time

Like merchandise

And I'm the one who paid the price

Friends with benefits

But I didn't benefit at all

And when you tell this story

Bet I play the villain

You put yourself before me

And still play the victim

When I was in a crisis

And needed a friend

Tell me where were you then

Yeah it's unsettling

To realize the version of you

I had in my head

Was my imagination

I gave you everything

You took it all at my expense

Friends with benefits

But I didn't benefit at all

Not at all, hmmm
