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.

(CHORUS) 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. (CHORUS)
