Farewell, Imaginary Companion

The thoughts of an imaginary friend kept around for too long.

I remember when we ran around your whole backyard
Scraping skin until we caught up with a dragon
But even though you forgot him years ago
I remain in the back of your mind

Ah, that time you explored the depths of space and back
Yeah, I was there for that too, is it all coming back?
You use to see me so much clearer even if you closed your eyelids

Twenty-two years went by, and now you think it's time to grow up?
But haven't I already become a living part of yourself?

I'm still your best friend!

Back when you bored and wanted someone else to play with
Those moments when you didn't want to cry or you would run away
My thoughts and my words of my whole life
Belonged to you

Jumping on your mattress until we became like star ships
Blanket tied to your neck
Let's go back

Aren't I the reason why you're still alive today, right?

I remember when you started liking those other boys
I judged each one until you decided love was hopeless
And that day you realize you were always lonely
You dove straight into my arms under the covers

Ah, those friends of yours were rather mean to you
Don't worry, tell me everything wrong about them
I'll distract your thoughts to a more unrealistic world better than your own life

Slowly, your imagination became morbid and deteriorating, sinking in tears
How many times did you fantasize your own death before me?

You're still my best friend


A lonely fragmentation of your dreams, yet I made you who you wanted to be 
Now you wish that I would go and disappear from your life?

So long, my best friend?

(I still love you, of course)


Back when you bored and wanted someone else to listen 
Those moments when you thought you should die or go away
My heart and my soul of my whole life
Belonged to you

Running from your conscience and humiliation for me
Disfiguring me from your brain
Hey don't forget

Aren't I the reason why you are a grown up today?

Don't throw me away yet!

Back when you were laughing and drove off all on your own
Those moments when you realize someone else needs you out there
My songs and my best days

My whole life
Belong to you!

Even now I'm fading, a memory you don't need back
We'll never speak again 
Wish you well

Now that I'm gone you'll make a very fine adult

Only if you were to remember all the moments I gave you
Wait-
