I lost a friend Like keys in a sofa Like a wallet in the backseat Like ice in the summer heat
I lost a friend Like sleep on a red-eye Like money on a bad bet
Like time worrying about every bad thing that hasn't happened yet
* I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight
I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made
Replaying fights I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight
I lost a friend I lost a friend
** I lost my mind And nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me,
'Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad."
And I'll be fine without him But all I do is write about 'em
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? Never had
I'm on the mend Like I'm wearing a neck brace
Like I'm sleeping in my own place Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face
I'm on the mend Like I'm icing a new sprain
Like I'm walking on a new cane
Like it's been a couple days since I slipped and said something sorta like your name
( * , ** )
I'd apologize If I thought it might Make a difference
Or make you listen I'd apologize If it was black and white
But life is differentJust try to listen To me now
( * , ** )
