Lyrics to live by:

One: Don't pick up the phone

You know he's only callin' 'cause he's drunk and alone

You'll have to kick him out again

Three: Don't be his friend

You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning

 

Somebody That I Used to Know – Gotye

Lyrics to live by:

Told myself that you were right for me

But felt so lonely in your company

But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
