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)
