You went to a party
You attended a social gathering

I heard from everybody
I received information from multiple sources

You part the crowd like the red sea
You easily make your way through a crowded space

Don't even get me started
I have a lot to say about this but I'll refrain

Did you get anxious though
Were you feeling restless or uneasy

On the way home?
During your journey back to your residence

I guess I'll never, ever know
I realize I will never have the answer to that question

Now that we don't talk
Since we no longer communicate

You grew your hair long
Your hair has significantly increased in length

You got new icons
You have adopted different role models or influences

And from the outside, it looks like you're trying lives on
Based on appearances, it seems like you are experimenting with different lifestyles

I miss the old ways
I long for the previous ways or dynamics we had

You don't hate to change
You are not averse to embracing change

But I guess I don't have a say
However, it appears that my opinion doesn't matter

Now that we don't talk
Since we no longer communicate

I call my mom, she said that it was for the best
I spoke to my mother who believes the situation is advantageous

Remind myself the more I gave, you'd want me less
I recall that the more I invested in the relationship, the less you desired it

I cannot be your friend
I am unable to maintain a friendship with you

So I pay the price of what I lost
Therefore, I suffer the consequences of what I sacrificed

And what it cost
As well as the expenses incurred

What do you tell your friends, we
How do you describe our relationship to your acquaintances

Shared dinners, long weekends with
We used to have meals together and spend extended weekends

Truth is I can't pretend it's
To be honest, I cannot pretend anymore that it is

Platonic, it's just ended
Purely platonic, it has come to an end

So I call my mom, she said to get it off my chest
As a result, I reach out to my mother for advice, and she suggests expressing my feelings

Remind myself the way you faded 'til I left
I remind myself of how you gradually lost interest until I departed

I cannot be your friend
I am unable to maintain a friendship with you

So I pay the price of what I lost
Therefore, I suffer the consequences of what I sacrificed

And what it cost
As well as the expenses incurred

I don't have to pretend I like acid rock
I no longer need to fake enjoyment of acid rock music

Or that I'd like to be on a mega yacht
Nor do I have to pretend I desire to be on a large luxurious yacht

With important who think important thoughts
In the company of influential individuals who possess deep thoughts

Guess maybe I am better off
I suspect that perhaps I am in a better situation

Now that we don't talk
Since we no longer communicate

And the only way back to my dignity
The sole route towards reclaiming my self-respect

Was to turn into a shrouded mystery
Involved transforming into an enigmatic and veiled figure

Just like I had been when you were chasing me
Much like the way I appeared when you pursued me

Guess this is how it was to be
I suppose this is the destined outcome

Now that we don't talk
Since we no longer communicate
