I Lost a Friend

I lost a friend Like keys in a sofa Like a wallet in the back seat Like ice in the summer heat I lost a friend Like sleep on a red-eye Like money on a bad bet Like time worryin' 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 Countin' all the mistakes I've made Replayin' 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 wearin' a neck brace Like I'm sleepin' at my own place Like I'm pullin' all the stitches out of my own face I'm on the mend Like I'm icing a new sprain Like I'm walkin' on a new cane Like it's been a couple days Since I slipped and said somethin' sorta like your name I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight I'll be lying awake Countin' all the mistakes I've made Replayin' 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
