there's no "i" in team.


Well, I can't regret, can't you just forget it? I started something I couldn't finish.
And if we go down, we go down together.
Best friends means, well, best friends means.
And I've got a twenty-dollar bill that says you're up late starting fist fights versus fences in your backyard.
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honour, soaking in sympathy, from friends who never loved you nearly half as much as me.

Broken down in bars and bathrooms.
All I did was what I had to.
Don't believe me when I tell you,
It's just what anyone would do.
Take the time to talk about it.
Think a lot and live without it.
Don't believe me when I tell you,
It's something unforgivable.

Well, I can't regret, can't you just forget it? I started something I couldn't finish.
If we go down, we go down together.
Best friends means, well, best friends means.
You never knew, well I never told you...
Everything I know about breaking hearts I learned from you, it's true.
I've never done it with the style and grace you have.
But I've made long-term plans, based on these mistakes.

Broken down in bars and bathrooms.
All I did was what I had to.
Don't believe me when I tell you,
It's just what anyone would do.
Take the time to talk about it.
Think a lot and live without it.
Don't believe me when I tell you,
It's something unforgivable.

Is this what you call tact?
I swear you're subtle as a brick in the small of my back.
So let's end this call, and end this conversation.
There's nothing worse.
(That's right, he said, that's right he said it.
Have another drink and drive yourself home.)
I swear, you have no idea.
(I hope there's ice on all the roads.)
The jealousy that became me thinking
(And you can think of me when you forget your seatbelt.
That's right, he said.
And again when your head goes through the windshield.)
That you always had it way too easy.

Best friends I pulled the trigger.
Best friends means you get what you deserve.
