One year ago today I tossed away
A quarter that I should've saved
I faked a farewell fantasy and misbehaved
I never made an effort
My conscience went
After all the time I spent
The dollars that I dropped on you
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
Never would you admit to me
I always laughed when you laughed
Cried when you cried
Danced when you danced
I lied
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 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
Laughed when you laughed
Cried when you cried
Danced when you danced
I lied
I lied
I lied
I lied
I lied
