I've got a friend called Byron now

By the time you read this I’ll be gone
I think it’s best that you move on
I’m not coming back, I know that’s wrong
but I’m now friends with a guy called Byron.

I’ve got a friend called Byron now
things aren’t going to be the same
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we go on day trips on the train
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
he persuaded me to quit my job
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
he writes about me on his blog
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we cut each others hair
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
I take him everywhere
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
his paintings hang on my walls
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
my old friends seem such bores
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we play on his Nintendo Wii
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
and he really cares about me
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we’ve set up a joint myspace account
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
his dad is … a count
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we’re writing a novel together
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we’re gonna be friends forever
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
we wear matching cords
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
there’s a photograph of the two of us, windswept on the Norfolk Broads
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
for him I would do anything
I’ve got a friend called Byron now
and I’ve started to smoke heroin.
