Facebook Friends with no Benefits

Facebook friends with no benefits, uncomplicated in relevance: none.
You made it simple, fake smile without the dimples: shunned.
I’m for forward movement, but this escalator’s going down: ground
Floor the gas; pass me on the left as you left they hound me
with reminders

Suddenly every acquaintance I meet greets me with your name
Somehow we never ran into each other, till you went away
And sitting her at 4 A M all I’ve got to say
is internet is mocking me- with reminders of your name

You posted last night, with complaints on your blog, and I wanted to respond
I held back, but reading in the shadows, well to me it just felt wrong
I know it’s public knowledge, but every time I read
how you’re currently doing, I feel there’s a starker in me

And now I’m looking and I see you’re online
The green light says you’re free, but somehow I can’t find
A reason to begin a conversation, or something noteworthy to say
But despite this problem you’ve been racing in my head all day

I know I really should move on, it’s been too many months
And I know we’ve had this conversation, we’ve had it more than once
But I’m stupidly stuck on you, where’s a cone hat for this dunce?

Cuz suddenly every acquaintance I meet greets me with your name
Somehow we never ran into each other, till you went away
And sitting her at 4 A M all I’ve got to say
is internet is mocking me- with reminders of your name
And I don’t need to be reminded today
