No Penalty

The beer is heady And the streets are poorly lit Shades of pink Surround the dark corner I sit The room's unsteady God, I feel like such a hypocrite Left the party early I doubt you noticed it Why doesn't my absence bother you? You say you wanna talk But you, you never do And I'm still there, I'm still in it Hate all the power you hold You're unaware, so complicit It's out of my control I deserved a kinder goodbye I didn't know that would be the last time we ever spoke Now it's been months There's still So much I don't know I wonder why I get no apology And everyone seems to forget about me You move along No penalty The plot would thicken Everyday brought something more Withheld details made the story all the worse I just don't get it We start so well, then we fall apart My body aches And I wish we could restart Why doesn't my absence bother you? You say you wanna talk But you, you never do And I'm still there, I'm still in it Hate all the power you hold You're unaware, so complicit It's out of my control I deserved a kinder goodbye I didn't know that would be the last time we ever spoke Now it's been months There's still So much I don't know I wonder why I get no apology And everyone seems to forget about me You move along I guess it comes and goes in waves Still think about it everyday October night everything changed After we won the football game And in five months we graduate Not much time to clear this slate So years of friendship dissipate Right as we go our separate ways I deserved a kinder goodbye I didn't know that would be the last time we ever spoke Now it's been months There's still So much I don't know I wonder why I get no apology And everyone seems to forget about me You move along No penalty No penalty, oh No penalty
