San Francisco Payphone Songtext / Lyric

one year ago today

i tossed away

a quarter that i should have saved

i faked a farewell fantasy and misbehaved

i never made an effort

my conscience went

after all the time a spent

dollars that i dropped on you

thought you'd say you missed me too



so here i am, a friend, in the end i meant

to disregarded 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.






i always laughed when you laughed

cried when you cried

danced when you danced

i lied

laugh when you laugh

cry when you cry

dance when you dance

i lied



San Francisco pay-phone. 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.



I always laughed when you laughed

cried when you cried

danced when you danced

i lied

laugh when you laugh

cry when you cry

dance when you dance

i lied

i lied

i lied

i lied

i lied
