Company
[Chorus]
No pennies for my thoughts
But I won’t give them up for free
I could lie and tell you
That you’re the one for me
But this ain’t working anymore, I’ve got
To stay firm in the belief
That if you mind your own business
You don’t deserve my company
[Verse 1]
Employing stock responses in our every exchange
She never shares much, and we’re becoming progressively estranged
Emotionally invested, insecurities and pain
Hate to think I broke her but we’ll never be the same
She’ll conceal her feelings, let them falter, casting doubt
She glosses over accusations that were false and lashes out
The crumbling foundation of my faulty rationale
I know we’ll fall into depression as it all comes crashing down
[Chorus]
No pennies for my thoughts
But I won’t give them up for free
I could lie and tell you
That you’re the one for me
But this ain’t working anymore, I’ve got
To stay firm in the belief
That if you mind your own business
You don’t deserve my company
[Bridge]
I can never manage to get you to budge at all
I’ve been getting damaged, letting you make judgement calls
I can never manage to get you to budge at all
I’ve been getting damaged, letting you make judgement calls
[Verse 2]
Gotta give her credit though, take into account
The attention she was paying me
I’d never really tell her though, now I’m having withdrawals
Of affection, there’s no saving me
She used to bank on me to keep her in check
But I had my my tank on E, I was in debt
And when a debt is owed, and I’m left alone
You can trust I’ll lose a bit of interest
I’m used to watching her episodes play out
Never remotely safe to pause it
The only channels streaming are the rivers running down her face from broken faucets
I'm currently pondering all the things I should've
Said to her, I’m getting bogged down
Things like “I should’ve stood by you”, wish I had time to
But I’m feeling pretty swamped now
[Chorus]
No pennies for my thoughts
But I won’t give them up for free
I could lie and tell you
That you’re the one for me
But this ain’t working anymore, I’ve got
To stay firm in the belief
That if you mind your own business
You don’t deserve my company
