I'd like to tell you that it's alright but then I'd be lying
So many things have already been said so why am I trying?
So just for once, let's pretend that we're not dumb kids and we've never been friends
And never did what we did or said what we said. But all the time I still can hear an echo in my head

And I'll try to fake a smile (you know this might take a while)
But I know that everything will turn out alright

Cause I don't blame you for being yourself. It's the way you went about it
You've turned into somebody else and left it all behind.
And I understand that you'll stay true and you will do what's best for you.
I should have known all along, but it doesn't mean that I don't get to write a goodbye song.

I'd like to tell you that it's alright and you're too confusing.
But when it all comes down to the line I know I'll end up losing.

So just for once, let's pretend that we're not dumb kids and we've never been friends
And never did what we did or said what we said. But all the time I still can hear an echo in my head.

And I know you'll make excuses (and all of them will turn up useless)
But I know that everything will turn out alright

(CHORUS)

And when I wake up from being passed out on the floor at 2:30 in the afternoon in some kid's house who I don't know
I'll wonder what all of the arguing was for. Go to bed, lose my head, forget everything that I don't wanna know.
