Ode To an Imaginary Friend

I thought we were tight
Day for day and Night for night
But you spoke too many lies
Let me tell you something

It's hard enough to open up when you're shut like a clam
It's hard enough not know if it's true or a scam
It's hard enough to lay it out when your heart's so beat and bruised
It's hard enough to know if you feel like you're being used
Tell me

It's so hard giving up the time and give yourself a chance
Well, it's hard living up to rhyme when you wanna dance
I find it rich when you say I was of your worth
Cause I think of you now as lower than a worm in the Earth

Who are you, really, baby, and how much do you want from me
I don't have the nerve, I don't have the space, to you I'll never serve
Who are you really, sugar, and what do you want from me
Cause if it turns out I'm just a means to an end
You're worse than any imaginary friend
I think it's time for us to say goodbye

It's hard enough when the news seems always bad
Well, it's hard enough when all you feel the time is sad
It's hard enough to give up the ghost and move on with your life
It's hard enough when it cuts you up like a knife

And it's so hard letting down my guard and letting you in
It's hard when you play the cards and find you never win
It's so hard when you sit around and feel so Goddamn sick
When you thought your puzzle fit, but the pieces don't seem to stick

Who are you, really, baby, and what do you want from me
I don't have the nerve, I don't have the space, to you I'll never serve
Who are you really, sugar, and what do you want from me
Cause if it turns out I'm just a means to an end
You're worse than any imaginary friend
I think it's time for us to say goodbye

I remember the so-called "Good Ole Days"
When times seemed incredibly harsh

It was you I saved
From being enslaved
And pulled into the silvery marsh

Where did it lead us
And where did we go from there
I thought we'd bowled a strike
We didn't even get a spare

I remember when we prospered, so
In heaven we made a match
We gave each other that extra push
And saw all our gold eggs hatch

Where did it lead us
And why did it go so wrong
I know the answer
But I won't reveal it in this song

And now I don't know who you are, anymore
I can't say that we were friends with an honest face
And when I see you hanging round at the store
I feel a certain lack of grace
No, I don't know who you are anymore
Not since I found out where you've been
No, I don't know who you are anymore
So see you 'round, my evil twin
See you 'round, my evil twin
See you 'round, my evil twin
