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.

We ate at a restaurant, the host said we're cute

They think we're a couple, they bought us some booze

We share the moscato and laugh 'cause it's true

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)

A footnote will do

(Please don't forget me, 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.
