2.1 You were depressed, you were really messed up,
You know I understand.
But why did you not talk to me?
Why didn't you help me prepare for the nightmare?
2.2 Once it ended, I mended myself.
But it keeps falling back down off the shelves in my head.
A twinge of pain now, a shudder of disgust.
As I shield my eyes from my own memory.

3.1 You took a vacation into oblivion.
You were so low and I felt like I didn't know you.
3.2 I knew all about your plans, I really did understand.
But you didn't let me know I wasn't invited to go.

I watched in desperation as you stumbled before my eyes
She needs beer, she doesn't need me, I finally realized
My anger and pain in all your fun, you couldn't recognize
I stopped caring long before you started to cry
