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
