lyrics

THICK AS THIEVES.
i sincerely miss you. i do. now, please go away.
i've considered killing you, and kissing you.
both are in play.
i sincerely miss you. i do. but what's the difference, man?
i'm depressed enough for the both of us. that is true.
still, i want to hold your hand.
i will be super nice. i'll come between you and your family.
i could destroy you twice before you knew i was your enemy.
you and i would be BFF. i'll watch your cat when you are traveling.
hmm, i wonder what will be left when you get back from Europe with your family..
i'm sincerely sorry for you. now, please leave my sight.
i'm depressed enough. i'm depressed enough and that is true.
you're a drain on my life.
i sincerely miss you. i do. but what's the difference, man?
i have had enough. i have had enough of me and you.
still, i want to be your man.
i will be super nice. i'll anchor down in your periphery.
i could destroy you twice before you knew i was your enemy.
yes, you and i could be thick as thieves. i'd loan you money if you asked me.
but i bet that you won't believe that along i've been your enemy.
how is an enemy so friendly?
