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 my real friends aren't

Talking behind my back, talking behind my back



Chorus:

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



(Chorus)



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

Cuz 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



(Chorus-2x)
