Friends and Parents

Haven't seen you in so long
Didn't know you'd changed the colour of your hair
And I knew it had to happen someday
There was no way I could really be prepared
There was music and there were lights
Across the street a laundromat had stayed open all night
And a thousand angry angels took the air

We stood there talking so detached
Not to glance up and remember each other's eyes
And all the songs sounded the same
But they gave namеs to every differеnt kind of lie
There was the standard dishonesty
The secrets we decided we should keep
And things we wouldn't admit to save our lives

I said, "there's nothing left at all"
Because you had the gall to ask me how I felt
And you laughed like you were drunk
But not on wine, someone drunk on someone else
And in you I saw the past
Concerned with nothing but holding hands and lying in the grass
And I could tell in me you only could see yourself

But now your friends and your parents
They'll see you and they'll ask you how I've been
But just making conversation
But you know you won't be seeing me again
So you smile and [?] not to [?]
Ah...
