I Lost a Friend - FINNEAS, Marian Hill

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 him

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 at 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 twenty and sad»

And I’ll be fine without him

But all I do is write about him

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 apologize 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 twenty and sad»

And I’ll be fine without him

But all I do is write about him

How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?

Never had
