lyrics

I said I’m signing a contract
A business agreement
I said I love you as a human
But don’t get it twisted, I’m not your friend

And I thought if I signed the dotted line
I could help you keep your mind intact

I don’t know what I’m doing here
I told you I’d go
And not come back, and not come back

Oh roommate

Don’t need a key but I hold one
You left the door standing open
Don’t need heat
The fire’s still burning
I’ve got the candles
you keep forgetting

And I thought if I signed the dotted line
I could help you keep your mind intact

I don’t know what I’m doing here
I told you I’d go
And not come back, and not come back

You insisted I stay
It’s a safe place next to your heart
I pretended to cave
This is the last I’ll pay for what I don’t want

A roommate
