One year ago today, 
I tossed away, a quarter that I should've saved. 
I faked a farewell 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 a time 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]
