you left me a long time ago (you just forgot to leave)

stumbled home, drunk and lonely,
but you were gone, there was only
a letter; a neatly folded letter.

all it said was you were just not happy
and i raced through the house, halfway batty.
that night… i went a little bit crazy.

but after beer and pills, with some introspection
i see you started leaving to your virtual reflection
years ago... at least two crappy houses ago.

cuz now I see
that you left me
a long time ago
(you just forgot to leave).
you pulled away into your hole
where all your friends are make believe...

no birthday presents for me this year,
no cake, no comics, no whispers in my ear.
just facebook… you wished me happy birthday on facebook.

can’t remember the last time we laughed together...
and since we kissed it'd been forever.
“i just don’t dig that no more…” the saddest thing I’d ever heard...

obsessive attempts at making sense
and frustrated efforts to make amends
went nowhere… you got over me before you left.

and now i see
that you left me
a long time ago
(you just forgot to leave).
you pulled away into your hole
into your world of make believe.

why couldn't i see
that you left me
a long time ago
(you just forgot to leave)?
why you left i'll never know;
how could i have been so naive?
