I might be paranoid
But this has happened before
Am I really your friend?
Or do I not matter anymore?
I know you do lots of things
That I don't see
But it scares me so much
To think that you talk about me
I'm the bypass friend
The detour
I'm the one you wait with
'Til somebody better comes along
They say that everything's got an expiry date
They say that nothing lasts these days
So, keep your head up
Focus on what means more to you
You treat me different when I don't do what you do
I'm the bypass friend
The detour
I'm the one you wait with
'Til somebody better comes along
All my life
This has happened every time
I don't know what I should change
About myself anymore
I'm so used to being the detour
They gotta go via me to get to point B
(I'm so used to being the detour)
And my time is wasting away at the seams
(But it's all that I've ever known)
I'm the bypass friend
The detour
I'm the one you wait with
'Til somebody better comes along
All my life
This has happened every time
I don't know what I should change
About myself anymore
