You have this new friend
He probably likes you
Enough to buy you flowers
Though he doesn’t have the right to
Its temporary and they wont last
When the flowers are dying
And they turn to black
Then you can call me
So I can hang up
Leaving you empty
As if I give a damn about what youre doing
What ever you have to tell me
Go on and be happy
There is nothing more to see here
Except how lonely I can be
I found a few friends
We go out drinking
And when I get a little drunk all do is start fussin
About you and I
And how it all ended
I put money on it
That I wouldn’t let it happen again
