WASN'T I TRUE?

i was your favorite
if just for a time
until you compartmentalized me
out of your life

we both helped make us
into what we are now
but it's you who avoids me
like the bad part of town

wasn't i here
when you needed me dear?
wasn't i true
to you?
isn't the ocean still blue?

i see you're still wearing
all the jewelry that i bought
i guess that i figured
you'd take it to a pawn shop

instead it was our friendship
you decided to hock
now through windows at a stoplight
the only time that we talk

wasn't i here
when you needed me dear?
wasn't i true
to you?
isn't the ocean still blue?

i stopped by your place
just the other day
but the eighties on your stereo
sent me on my way

and then i heard you wondering
why it seems i never stay
but when i do you just ignore me
and that's not okay

wasn't i here
when you needed me dear?
wasn't i true
to you?
isn't the ocean still blue?
