I was young and stupid
And shallow by my homesick heart
I felt like you were teaching me
But I didn't need a scholar I needed a friend
When I was all alone
Where was California calling you all the way home?
I couldn't shut my mouth
I know you never had a reason for hearing me out
Can't talk
You cut the chord again
It's obvious that you
Won't lose an ounce of sleep
Over everything this ever meant to me
I didn't let you down when you were broken
You let me down and now I'm broken
And like a ghost
You only feel me when you're
All Alone
Make it seem as if I don't exist at all
Now you're
Out of reach like a fucking daydream
Twisting all the things around me
Drop down in a place to find your head
Getting lost inside of it
Clockwork duality
Where I'm your best friend
And your favorite enemy
I didn't let you down when you were broken
You didn't hold me down like I was hoping
I didn't let you down when you were broken
You let me down and now I'm broken
So tell me anything at all
Couldn't endure the upstate fall
You couldn't make it north of the Thru-way
To take a picture off the wall
And it wasn't long ago
Between the summer and the snow
Did you marry your small-town boyfriend?
Or did the city take your soul?
