A good time was all it was   I'll bet you'll keep looking up at them   Wondering, "was it not fair?"   Light through a kaleidoscope   I keep sinking a torn up note   Left all the other ones ideal intact      We were rivals, understood   Tally up the points   They tapered to our ends   Lamentless, almost friends   Reflect what we've become      Cheap shots and makeup   We're far from catching up   I know you won't call me back, so don't call me back   You think what you don't know won't hurt you now   And the good news never stays      Make it through this one alive   I'll bet your mouth dropped open wide   Disclaim permission, reach to the crowd   Quick gasps turn to a choke   A fake laugh from a cynical joke   Out of the question, desperately undone      A minor threat, misled   Determines who out smart   I can quit while I'm ahead   Two-starred remarks, impressive   Reflect what we've become      Cheap shots and makeup   We're far from catching up   I know you won't call me back, so don't call me back   You think what you don't know won't hurt you now   And the good news never stays      I tore them up, all of them   I burned them out   Forgot all that was said   I never meant for it to come to this      Needed to be friends   We needed to be friends
