Every friend I make has got an expiration date
They’ll either die or drift away
And I’m not sure which one hurts more
Until they’re dead
And I wish they’d run
Somewhere making friends
With someone who’ll remember all their birthdays
Never fail to send a card
To keep in touch is hard so
I make friends with no pretenses
We’ll drift apart, it’s no offense
Just didn’t have the energy
Someday you might here from me
But I won’t call till I’m too alone
And I’ll get a stranger on the phone
It’s weird to hear your voice the same
When everything I know about you changed
We act as though we spoke just yesterday
Nothin’s changed
Same ol’ story, brand new day
And we end the call with, “We’ll speak soon!”
We both know the truth is
You’re better off without me
You’re all better off without me
You’re all better off
Better off
Better off
And I’m better off alone
Better off without me
You’re all better off without me
You’re all better off
Better off
Better off
And I’m better off alone
Everyone I know will someday suddenly outgrow me someway
And I’ll be left alone, to bide my time
I’ll be fine; until I’m not
And I’ll make new friends
Oh, we’ll hang out every weekend
Do our best to speak each day
Until there’s nothing left to say
And life gets in the way
And so, we drift apart with no offense
Cause’ we shook hands with no pretenses
Didn’t have the energy
Someday you might hear from me
But I won’t call till I’m too alone
And I’ll get a stranger on the phone
Wonder when you changed your number
Losing touch is such a bummer but
I act as though I don’t need anyone
Or anything
There’s nothing friendship does for me because
I feel I’m still alone in company
Something must be wrong with me
So, you’re better off without me
You’re all better off without me
You’re all better off
Better off
Better off
And I’m better off alone
Better off without me
I know you’re better off without me
Hope you’re better off
Better off
You’re better off
And I’m better off alone
Every friend I make has got an expiration date
They’ll either die or drift away
And I’m not sure which one hurts more
Until they’re dead
