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 20 and sad"
And I'll be fine without 'em

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 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'm on the mend, but 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 20 and sad"
And I'll be fine without 'em
But all I do is write about 'em
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference

Or make you listen
I'd apologise if it was black and white
But life is different
Just try to listen to me now
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 20 and sad"
And I'll be fine without 'em
But all I do is write about 'em
How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?
Never had
