Don't Flake Out On Me Lyrics - Singles - Hefner

Don't flake out on me 

Oh, you promised you'd write before Easter 

And now you damn well know that it's autumn 

And I missed you through those summer months 

Oh, you promised yourself you'd stop drinking 

And I know it's none of my business 

But you were mighty and graceful when sober 

But all that gin, all that wine 

We will always talk this way, tired and slightly jaded 

We will waste our tears and we'll be waiting years 

For the friends who always promised that they'd phone us 

We will always feel this way, faintly optimistic 

But we will speak the truth and we will never lose 

Oh, the feeling that our hearts could be unbroken 

Don't wimp out on me 

Oh, I know you've got the strength of 12 oxen 

I've seen you get through these things before 

Just like you've seen me get through these things before 

We will always talk this way, tired and slightly jaded 

We will waste our tears and we'll be waiting years 

For the friends who always promised that they'd phone us 

We will always feel this way, faintly optimistic 

But we will speak the truth and we will never lose 

Oh, the feeling that our hearts could be unbroken 

Oh, we will always feel dismayed, it will only ever be okay 

What's the point in getting laid? We're waiting for the better days 

We will always feel dismayed but only ever be okay 

What's the point in getting laid? We're waiting for the better days
