“I had one friend in high school, recently he hung himself with string,
His note said "If livin' is the problem, well that's just baffling."
And at the wake I waited around to see my ex-first love,
And I barely recognized her but I knew exactly what she was thinkin' of
. We sat quietly in the corner, whisperin' close about loss,
And I remembered why I loved her and I asked her why I drove her off.”

— Jenny Lewis
