what became of everyone i used to know?

where did our respectable convictions go

your words don't match the story that your actions show-

but what do i know?

i'm sure you can't help but remembering...

i thought that you'd be one not to forget

but remembering's not helping you yet.

say goodnight, means goodbye.

i know you think my life would stop while you're away

maybe i can see you on holidays, but you're worlds away.

i've never forgotten all our yesterdays

i'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays

the evidence presents itself so accusingly

your absence speaking everything you think of me

now that i am faced with opportunity

you're not remembering.

i'm not asking you anyway

but even if you ever could cave in, i wouldn't know where to begin.

say goodnight, means goodbye.

i know you think my life would stop while you're away

maybe i can see you on holidays, worlds away.

i've never forgotten all our yesterdays...

i'm lucky if we're speaking on holidays
