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
