She’s…
An old friend (I say that with all too much emotion in my voice)
Old friend (All too much knowing)
Old friend (We knew each other years ago)
Old friend (I knew her for years)
Old friend (Or, at least, I thought I did)
Old friend (She became my childhood)
Old friend (But I didn’t know childhood could just abandon you like that)
Old friend (I don’t think my love for her ever died)
Old friend (I’d accept an earnest hug from her in a heartbeat)
Old friend (It hurts every time I see her in the hallway)
Old friend (In the yearbook)
Old friend (On the stage)
Old friend (When I see her doing so, so well for herself)
Old friend (I still owe her a lot of my heart)
Old friend (We’re in each other’s debt)
Old friend (And I’m scared I don’t have enough heart to give her what she
deserves)
Old friend (My love for her never died)
Old friend (But it rots more every time I think about her)
Old friend (I don’t know her anymore)
Old friend (But I miss her)
Old friend (As she was)
Old friend (Back when I was a better person)
