Friendship for Clicks

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They talk a big game every night About the films they hate, the games they bite "Hollywood's rotten," "this quest is lame" Then they click buy anyway, same old game They clutch their pearls at every trend Then line up first when the trailer ends Sweet little critics, loud and proud With platinum opinions, bought from the crowd [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they sigh, oh, they roll their eyes While the receipt just multiplies They call it truth, they call it real Then chase the same old shiny deal [Chorus] You said you were done, you said you were free But you keep on paying, keep on paying, you see You said we were friends, you said it with a grin Then you sold my name to the comments for the win Friends for a minute, foes by the dawn Smile for the screenshot, then you’re gone, you’re gone Friends for a minute, clicks in your hand Building your castle on shifting sand [Verse 2] At brunch they hug, at streams they cheer "You're my day-one," "you're my family here" But one little slip, one tiny flaw And suddenly it’s teeth and claws They don’t need facts, just fuel and flare A little heartbreak, a public stare A borrowed voice, a hidden jab A friend turned headline, a tidy tab [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they lean in close, then lean away Trading trust for what the numbers say One more wound, one more thread One more person left for dead [Chorus] You said you were done, you said you were free But you keep on paying, keep on paying, you see You said we were friends, you said it with a grin Then you sold my name to the comments for the win Friends for a minute, foes by the dawn Smile for the screenshot, then you’re gone, you’re gone Friends for a minute, clicks in your hand Building your castle on shifting sand [Bridge] Oh, what a lovely little lie Wrapped in a bow and kissed goodbye If everybody’s your best friend Why does every favor have an end? [Breakdown] One more outrage One more post Hold that smile Sell the ghost [Final Chorus] You said you were done, you said you were free But you keep on paying, keep on paying, you see You said we were friends, you said it with a grin Then you sold my name to the comments for the win Friends for a minute, foes by the dawn Smile for the screenshot, then you’re gone, you’re gone Friends for a minute, clicks in your hand Building your castle on shifting sand [Outro] So clap for the drama, bow for the show Somebody’s always gotta steal the glow Friends for a minute, that’s all they can do Till the camera turns and it points at you
