Missed the meeting, missed the meeting
Where my friends discussed why
I'm not around, I'm not around
You say I don't know who my real friends are
All I know is what real friends aren't
Talking behind my back, talking behind my back

Assuming things before they even ask me
Why I'm not behaving like I should
In their mind's eye, but they don't even know me
And I don't think they ever could

Missed the meeting, missed the meeting
Where my friends discussed why
I'm not around, I'm not around
If it's really important for you to say
Then you can say it to my face
Stop hiding out, stop hiding out

Maybe you fear what you don't know
And it hurts too much just to let it go
So instead you make excuses
And they turn into demands
I would try to make it up to you
But now I don't think I can
'Cause you're gonna make me pay
For what I've done to you
Yeah, you're gonna make me pay
For what I've put you through
But I don't want to hear you say
What you need from me
When all things I've done
Don't pave the way

Missed the meeting, missed the meeting
Where my friends discussed why
I'm not around, I'm not around
If it's really important for you to say
Then you can say it to my face
Stop hiding out, stop hiding out

Assuming things before they even ask me
Why I'm not behaving like I should
In their mind's eye, but they don't even know me
And I don't think they ever could
Assuming things before they even ask me
Why I'm not behaving like I should
In their mind's eye, but they don't even know me
And I don't think they ever could
