[Verse 1]

I turned off the light and got into bed

And then closed my eyes

Only to find

The faces of those friends I have hurt

I think every time they see me or hear of me it makes it worse


[Verse 2]

And it's probably you

You're listening along

The words of this song

Reminding you of me

And you agree

I wish she were gone


[Verse 3]

I wish she would quit writing songs

And move far, far, far away

And I do too

I'm sorry for you

I'm sorry I can't just disappear

But I will try

No, I won't kill myself

'Cause I'm afraid to die


[Verse 4]

But we can all get lessons in theater and learn to pretend

That I don't exist

And we'll dismiss

Me from our minds and move on

No more memories to remind you of me


[Verse 5]

But if you see me on the street

Please don't believe

'Cause it couldn't be

It's just a mirage

Or a robot

Maybe a mannequin you saw in a shop


[Verse 6]

So be with your friends

Have a good time

Makes some more rhymes

Don't worry 'bout me

'Cause I don't exist

And non-existent people cannot be missed
