That day at school went by without a single text from you.
It probably had to do with the fact you were at school, and I know how much you care about getting your education.
I couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Why couldn't you just make room to send me one damn text?
I just wanted to know you still cared.
Do you still care?

That night I partied.
Quite out of the ordinary for me, I know
But do you really care?
I got as drunk as possible
Smoked a pack of cigarettes
And I was numb
I was numb and it felt great

And do you know what you did?
You texted me
The whole damn day had passed and you finally texted me
You wanted to know if I was home so we could watch videos on YouTube
Or some shit like that.

But I couldn't do it
I texted you
Told you I was busy with homework or something
It hurt to lie
But you ate it up and went on with your night
