I might be paranoid But this has happened before Am I really your friend? Or do I not matter anymore? I know you do lots of things That I don't see But it scares me so much To think that you talk about me I'm the bypass friend The detour I'm the one you wait with 'Til somebody better comes along They say that everything's got an expiry date They say that nothing lasts these days So, keep your head up Focus on what means more to you You treat me different when I don't do what you do I'm the bypass friend The detour I'm the one you wait with 'Til somebody better comes along All my life This has happened every time I don't know what I should change About myself anymore I'm so used to being the detour They gotta go via me to get to point B (I'm so used to being the detour) And my time is wasting away at the seams (But it's all that I've ever known) I'm the bypass friend The detour I'm the one you wait with 'Til somebody better comes along All my life This has happened every time I don't know what I should change About myself anymore
