Last night I meet an old friend,
And he told me all the things I had longed to hear.
He told me his mistake,
In not asking me before
To be his one and only for ever more.
He looked at me with crushing hope
To help take away his pain.

Last night I kissed an old friend
And my life quickly changed.
Because when I opened my eyes
I was left feeling drained,
I was left feeling pained,
I was left with no clue of where things had gone a stray.

This morning I said goodbye to an old friends
In the most heart breaking way.
I opened my eyes
And took it all in so clear,
And realized it was all in my brain.
