Rely On Me

(album: An EP By James Smith - 2020)

I'm picking up at 2 a.m.
You could've called any one of your thousand friends
But you can only be real with me
I'm twenty minutes late for work
Still crossing town so that I can see you first
You're a habit I need
Somebody to hold, somebody to talk to
Keep playin the roles the way I'm supposed to

You still rely on me, and I still rely on you
For things that we shouldn't
You still rely on me, and I'm doing everything
That I said I wouldn't

Oh, so what the hell are we doin'?
If we carry on, we're gonna end up with bruises
'Cause you think that I'm gonna catch your fall
But I'm not there anymore
Oh, you laid your cards on the table
You wanna be alone and you're done with the labels
Enable to let me go
You're just like me, oh baby, I know
You need someone to hold, somebody to talk to
Keep playing the roles the way I'm supposed to

You still rely on me, and I still rely on you
For things that we shouldn't
You still rely on me, and I'm doing everything
That I said I wouldn't

You still rely on me, and I still rely on you
Still rely on you
I still rely on you
You still rely on me
I still rely on you
