[Verse 1]

Friend

I've done something stupid again

Is not that I don't love you, I do

It's just I'm in this black hole so blue

I've done something stupid again


[Chorus]

And now it's little lies and alibis

And the second phone, can't make it home

I'm working late, you know I hate

To miss the kids' bedtime again

I drank too much, a working lunch

I'll crash in town, so don't wait up

If I don't text, my phone's just dead

I've got that thing, I'm sure I said

And I know that you know and we both just play along

Just one more stupid thing that I have done


[Verse 2]

It starts

Got money in your pocket at last

It makes you think you're more than you are

You're just another sucker for the dream

No more or less than you have ever been


[Chorus]

But now it's little lies and alibis

And the second phone, can't make it home

I'm working late, you know I hate

To miss the kids' bedtime again

I drank too much, a working lunch

I'll crash in town, so don't wait up

If I don't text, my phone's just dead

I've got that thing, I'm sure I said

And you look like a joke and we both just play along

Just one more stupid thing that I have done


[Bridge]

(It's not that I don't love you)

Just one more stupid thing that I have done

(Little lies and alibis)

And the second phone (I drank too much)

I've done something stupid (Don't wait up)


[Chorus]

And now it's little lies and alibis

And the second phone, can't make it home

I'm working late, you know I hate

To miss the kids' bedtime again

I drank too much, a working lunch

I'll crash in town, so don't wait up

If I don't text, my phone's just dead

I've got that thing, I'm sure I said


[Outro]

And you feel like a fool

And we both just play along

And you feel like a fool

And we both just play along

And you feel like a fool

And we both just play along

Just one more stupid thing that I have done
