Through the nights we spent talking 'til we saw the sunrise
I never thought I'd have to see you go
All the plans and the promises, excuses and lies
I never thought I'd have to see you go

Why did we lose touch?
The closest of friendships, when we swore that we'd never change
Thought you'd remember
The nights fueled by coffee runs The 3 AM drives in the rain

Were you so much better? Was I just younger then?
Are your new friends successful and will you abandon them?
Will you cry and smoke cigarettes while you're singing clichéd songs?
Will you tell them you love them? Will you finally belong?

Spare me the heartbreak
The half-baked apologies This friendship meant nothing to you
We may be older
But I gave you all of me Was I a crutch to get you through?

Through the drama you told me, I was always listening
So treat me like a bastard, when I don't owe you a thing
I went through all my troubles, but treasured all my friends
I believed you when you told me that you'd be there 'til the end

Why you moved and never told me, I'll never understand
I never thought I'd have to see you go
We'll never call each other, and you'll start another band
I never thought I'd have to see you go
For making all the promises that you'd never see through
I never thought I'd have to see you go
For all the friends who broke my heart, this one goes out to you
I wish I didn't hate to see you go

I never thought I'd have to see you go
