San Francisco Payphone

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)
