I Lost My Friend

2013

Lyrics

I walked all over town
wearing a frown a mile long

Looking for a spot of you
doing things I said I'd never do

I finished in second place
before I even knew I was running a race

And you taught me how to gamble too
oh how I lose, oh how I lose

I walked all over town
wearing a frown

Every time I dream of you
I feel like a fool

I waited for you to come home
I should have known, I should have known

I watched you crying walk out my back door
I never felt so sorry before
I lost my friend
Now she's gone and that's the end

Notes

This song came from a chord progression I came up with that I found evocative. My girl left me for another guy, and it wrecked me for about nine months. This song was written in that period.
