Roommate

I said I’m signing a contract

A business agreement

I said I love you as a human

But don’t get it twisted, I’m not your friend

And I thought if I signed the dotted line

I could help you keep your mind intact

I don’t know what I’m doing here

I told you I’d go

And not come back, and not come back

Oh roommate

Don’t need a key but I hold one

You left the door standing open

Don’t need heat

The fire’s still burning

I’ve got the candles

You keep forgetting

And I thought if I signed the dotted line

I could help you keep your mind intact

I don’t know what I’m doing here

I told you I’d go

And not come back, and not come back

You insisted I stay

It’s a safe place next to your heart

I pretended to cave

This is the last I’ll pay for what I don’t want

A roommate
