Ben Folds Five – Julianne Lyrics 17 years ago
I must also agree with neveragain9. This song is about denial. He's so insistent about how he doesn't miss Julianne that only the inverse could be true.

And Julianne
you know she wouldn't approve
Talked all day on the phone
'cause I had nothing to do

He won't sing the blues, he won't feel guilty, only talked (to her) only the phone cause he had nothing to do. Sure buddy.

He's trying to forget about her and move on, but he betrays himself in the last stanza by lashing out over some unresolved issues with the relationship:

She'd find a reason
For the things that I did
And gave me credit
For the things that I never did
