one year ago today
i tossed away
a quarter that i should have saved
i faked a farewell fantasy and misbehaved
i never made an effort
my conscience went
after all the time a spent
dollars that i dropped on you
thought you'd say you missed me too

so here i am, a friend, in the end i meant
to disregarded that birthday card
nailed upon your wall he sent
i meant to turn my eyes from everything i shouldn't see
An oath I took, you kissed my cheek.
Cried yourself to sleep, but never would you admit to me.

i always laughed when you laughed
cried when you cried
danced when you danced
i lied
laugh when you laugh
cry when you cry
dance when you dance
i lied

San Francisco pay-phone. So far from home.
So many friends, and I'm alone.
I faked a farewell fantasy. I lied. You bother me.
My conscience gone. This conversation's dragging on.
There was once upon a time when you...would miss me too.

So here I am, a friend, the end,
I meant to disregard that birthday card,
nailed upon your wall he sent.
I meant to turn my eyes from everything.
Never made a promise.
An oath I took, I kissed your cheek.
Cried myself to sleep, I won't admit that you see.

I always laughed when you laughed
cried when you cried
danced when you danced
i lied
laugh when you laugh
cry when you cry
dance when you dance
i lied
i lied
i lied
i lied
i lied
