Lyrics By Dan Jacobsen

Why all the fights - And all of the nights

That I feel so broken hearted over nothing

 

I’ve never been so riled - Over anything this tiny

You wanted something new

And you’re world is so huge

 

But you forgot your true friends

And you’ve left them behind

Not to be seen again - And never more to say “Hi”

 

But it hurts me so - To watch as you

Just go with the flow - You’re living the high life

 

And nothing can bring you down

Nothing can make you drown, You’re so invincible.

 

But the tear that falls - When nobody calls

For you anymore - Is haunting you

Like a bad dream - Except I can’t wake up

And you’re not asleep

 

I wish there was a way to make it stop

And I wish that some day you will not

Ignore the truth as you ignore it now

  

You like them better - That’s fine with me

But don’t let them take away

What we’ve put together

 

You can’t understand how it pains me

To watch my friend slip by in life

And take the easy way out

And the popular rout to a new life

 

This salty tear flows for you

And because I can’t sit by and watch it happen

I’ve lost my last true friend

 

I thought the good guys win in the end

But I guess that’s just for losers who need a reality check

 

Everyday you mess with my mind

And I can’t stand it anymore

And If I ever said no more

I don’t think you’d even care

 

And I hope you can tell

How you’ve put me through hell

I can’t take this crap no more

And it’s over - Between you and me
