You went to a party I heard from everybody You part the crowd like the Red Sea Don’t even get me started Did you get anxious though On the way home? I guess I’ll never, ever know Now that we don’t talk
You grew your hair long You got new icons And from the outside, it looks like you’re trying lives on I miss the old ways You didn’t have to change But I guess I don’t have a say Now that we don’t talk
I call my mom, she said that it was for the best Remind myself the more I gave, you’d want me less I cannot be your friend So I pay the price of what I lost And what it cost Now that we don’t talk
What do you tell your friends, we Shared dinners, long weekends with Truth is I can’t pretend it’s Platonic, it’s just ended
So I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest Remind myself the way you faded ’til I left I cannot be your friend So I pay the price of what I lost And what it cost Now that we don’t talk
I don’t have to pretend I like acid rock Or that I’d like to be on a mega yacht With important men who think important thoughts Guess maybe I am better off Now that we don’t talk And the only way back to my dignity Was to turn into a shrouded mystery Just like I had been when you were chasing me Guess this is how it was to be Now that we don’t talk
Still sitting in a corner I haunt Cross-legged in the dim light They say, “What a sad sight”
I stayed there Dust collected on my pinned-up hair I’m sure that you got a wife out there Kids and Christmas, but I’m unaware ‘Cause I’m right where I cause no harm, mind my business If our love died young, I can’t bear witness And it’s been so long But if you ever think you got it wrong I’m right where you left me
