One year ago today, I tossed away, a quarter that I should've saved.
I faked a farwell fantasy and misbehaved.
I never made an effort. My conscience went. After all the time I spent.
The dollars that I dropped on you, I thought you'd say you 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. 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.

San Francisco payphone. 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 atime 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.
