Footnote

You said at the party that I was too drunk I told you I liked you, you said, "Sober up" But why would I lie? It's so clear I'm in love With you A tense conversation, you like someone else I say, "If I waited, could that maybe help?" You told me that patience won't change how you felt For me So I'll stop being pretentious and loathing our friendship You taught me a lesson, that love isn't precious It's not like the novels, no Pride and Prejudice at all So I'll just take a footnote in your life And you could take my body Every line I would write for you But a footnote will do A footnote will do You ate at a restaurant, the host said we're cute They think we're a couple, they bought us some booze We shared the Moscato and laughed 'cause it's true To me (to me) Oh, and I'd be embarrassed if I weren't so pleased That everyone else sees what you never see We're perfect together, but I'll never be The one So I'll stop being pretentious and loathing our friendship You taught me a lesson, that feelings are reckless It's just like the novels, side characters end up alone So I'll just take a footnote in your life And you could take my body Every line I would write for you But a footnote will do A footnote will do A footnote will do (please, don't forget me) (Forget me, please, don't forget me) (Forget me, please, don't forget me) a footnote will do (Forget me, please, don't forget me) (Forget) a footnote will do A footnote will do (Forget) a footnote will do A footnote will do
