Skype Tomorrow

Oh, you promise, you know

That must make it so

That means it's written in blood

Well, here's advice you can take

Promises break

So don't make what you can't hold up

I know you don't think you're lying

But there's something you don't know

The second you get on that airplane

Here's the way that it will go

You say, "We'll Skype tomorrow"

You say, "I'll come for the weekend and sleep on your couch"

Thank God for FaceTime, we'll talk all the time

It'll be like I'm not even gone

You say, "For winter break

We're gonna take a vacation together, just you and I"

And then you make new friends

And then, "We'll Skype in a week"

And you say that we're gonna be fine

And then you have too much homework

And you don't show up, you say

"We'll Skype in a month"

You say, "I'll shoot you a text"

And then it's winter break

And then it's summer vacation and you don't come home

I know the drill, I know the score

You think this hasn't happened before

I'm the youngest kid of three

You think this hasn't happened to me

But not you, please not you

Not you too

No, not you, please not you

Not you too

The first thing about friends

Is they leave in the end

So don't get too attached

While she's off having fun

My life's kinda done

But I guess that's just game, set, match

There isn't any point in trying

To find something we can save

You can tell me you're not dying

But still something goes away

You said, "We'll Skype tomorrow"

Well, now it's been several weeks and you still haven't called

I text you saying, "Hi"

You say, "I'm busy, goodbye"

Then you tweet that you're out at the mall

You'll never FaceTime

And you won't have the time

You're gonna meet some guy at a bar

And you're so happy to be

With people who aren't me

You're so happy to be where you are

And if I'm lucky, then hey

I'll see you on holidays

When you come home 'cause your mother makes you

And I'll be trying to hide

That empty feeling inside

When somebody you used to love breaks you

I know just how this ends

You'll forget we were ever friends

The only thing you'll ever do

Is wish me happy birthday

'Cause Facebook reminded you

Please not you

Not you too

No, not you, please not you

Not you too

You say, "We'll Skype tomorrow"

You say, "We're gonna be fine"

You say, "Goodbye"
