Our 10th song, Just about ready as well

This is a song where the lyrics came to me in one go - i was reminiscing about when i was younger and the damage i did to somebody who i knew while at university. I was in a bit of a mess and so was she. Neither of us were in a better state afterwards. In the absence of a sincere "I'm sorry", here is the song that says it for me.

 

Lyrics

You were my friend, with benefits, you see?
Convenient intimacy 
Live-in sex, head on tap 
My best buddy, no strings attached 
 
I thought at the time it was mutual
Didn't see how much I was dumb. 
Just happy to be getting some 
 
Never realised you wanted more
How my attitude was hurting you
 
I saw your despair,
And you knew I didn't care
Hindsight's a bitch 
I thought I was better than this.
The only one that benefits
 
It was consensual but now I realise ,
you weren't in a place where you could decide.
No common sense in sight
 
When I realised you wanted more
I kept up leading you on
Watching you swallow
Didn't know I was this hollow
I went and made you my whore
 
Damaged before I met you 
Worse for wear when I left you.
 
You were my friend, with benefits, you see?
The convenience of your  intimacy 
My best buddy, head on tap 
Live-in sex with no strings attached
 
WIth my face between your thighs
I misunderstood your sighs
Damaged before I met you 
Not much better when I left you.
