You said be happy for me
I'll never be happy again
It never ends
This box of cigarettes
Just might be my only friend
It depends
I hate this party
And these people aren't my friends
They just pretend
I get this feeling
And I just have to walk away
It's okay
But you just go on
How can you talk to me that way?
The things you say
All the streets are empty
I'm always going home alone
Always alone
And you said be happy for me
It's so hard when you ignore me
And the words remain unspoken
Let the promises stay broken
You can't wash away the scars
My head is in the stars
