You tear me down, tear me down
Tear me down again
You say I’m bad, say I’m bad
Say I’m not your friend
You cut me off cold, baby
With your sharp knives
You left me in the dark
Fighting for my life
You got me lost, got me lost
Got me for the last time

PRE-CHORUS:
It feels like we’re running
Back to the start, ah oh
I admire your crafted lies
Like a work of art, oh

CHORUS:
I know you’re not a friend
This is where the end begins
You’re a touch of misery
And you love your company
Pedal to the metal
Right down to the floor
Switchin’ between gears
Revvin’ up the motor
It’s never enough
I know you’re not my friend
Because you only love
The ones you can expend

The road you paved, road you paved
Leads you to a dead end
Slither away, slither away
Baby, back to your den
You say it’s only fair
If you can take a bite
You’re so full of yourself
It’s blinding your eyesight
You’ll spin around, spin around
To swallow your tail tonight

(PRE-CHORUS, CHORUS)

P-p-p-petal to the metal, oh no
Petal to the metal, let’s go
P-p-p-petal to the metal, oh no
Petal to the metal, let’s go

Don’t you pretend, oh no
Like you’re not in my head, oh no
Don’t tell me I don’t comprehend
Your expendable intent, oh no

No, no, no
I’ll never settle

(CHORUS)

You’ll never be a friend
If you only ever love
People you can expend
