I MISS MY FRIEND

Hello stranger, how have you passed the time?

Are you curious how I've been passing mine?

I've been watching doors and trading stories

Of how I thought I would improve

But at every table, I've still set a place for you

I wish we could have another go

Talk into the morning and keep our clothes

I won't ask to hear what you could never say

I've been getting by anyway

So you don't have to come to bed

And you don't have to kiss my neck

I miss my friend

I wish my lip didn't curl when you said you got the girl

I raised a glass to the happy couple and to the end of the world

If I couldn't be your lover, then I couldn't be your friend

So I became your shadow, and the sun began to set

I let others walk your stomping grounds, I let them touch my grief

But what's a heart on a sleeve if it never beats?

I wish we could have another go

Talk into the morning and keep our clothes

I won't ask to hear what you could never say

I've been getting by anyway

So you don't have to come to bed

And you don't have to kiss my neck

I miss my friend

And I wish I could've warned you that I was gonna leave

It wasn't fair it's not your fault that could not love me

I'm giving up what I wanted so could you call me please?

You don't have to say anything I just wanna hear you breathe

I wish we could have another go

Talk into the morning and keep our clothes

I won't ask to hear what you could never say

I've been getting by anyway

But I miss my friend
