My Imaginary Friend

I couldn't do it
So I asked for a helping hand
To get me through it
But I guess it wasn't in your plan
Or maybe you were
Just too busy to make time for me
I always put you first
Expecting me to figure out things
But they all kept getting worse
When I think about the way you let me down
I wonder if I'm supposed to count on you
How could you ignore me?
My imaginary friend
Didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well I guess it's just because
He was never there at all
I can't believe it
Now that I'm looking back
Why didn't I see it
Well I guess I didn't even ask
Why you were never
Ever in the places I would go
You never showed yourself
All those heart-felt conversations
Were with me and no one else
When I called your name
You never answered, am I insane?
If you saw my suffering
How could you ignore me?
My imaginary friend
Didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well I guess it's just because
He was never there at all
It's not hard to let him go
I don't know why I ever loved him so
Maybe there is something wrong with me
I don't see what they see
Used to fold my hands and close my eyes
And think you were with me
Now there's something wrong
It doesn't seem to make much sense
I just feel so stupid now
How could I believe it?
My imaginary friend
Didn't come through in the end
So now I have to find a real one
Didn't answer when I called
Well I guess it's just because
He was never there at all
My imaginary friend, oh-yeah
Now I have to find a real one
Didn't come through in the end, oh-no
Cause he was never there at all
He was never there at all
