it's not my fault we're fair weather friends.

i heard "never there" by cake on the radio while driving home from work. and it made me laugh. and i felt like a bitch for a minute until i remembered that:
you can be haunted by memories but ghosts cannot be friends
so who's going to be left
when the sky opens up above your head
and all the let downs still won't let go
even when you're still being swept under the bridge
with all the past mistakes
and disappointments in your life
effort counts for nothing
when you only say you want to make things right
if i come off as apathetic
you know it's only in self defense
i've given up on our fair weather friendship
because things are never going to be any different
people only change
when left with no other choice
and so much for all the others left behind
wondering why they aren't hearing from that certain voice
but it is to be expected by now
and i take full responsibility
for the smile i wear made up of stitches
that you never stick around to see
and i'm sorry to hear what you're going through
but it only proves my worn out point in the end
life is not worth wasting
on those that are really not your friends
goodbye to second chances
that always proved me right
so long to being so idealistic
that i can't even take my own advice
farewell to (broken) promises
and the days they might actually begin
there is no starting over
when there was never really an end
it would kinda be a waste
to once more wish you adieu
because what's the point in expecting goodbyes
when i barely had hello from you
