8 Whole Years

[Verse 1]
A breakup is heartbreaking, it runs you over
But nothing quite hurt me like that October
When you said you didn’t want to be friends anymore

Nothing quite burns like losing forever
I thought it’d be you and me always together
I thought you were a gem, but pressure turned diamond to stone
I should’ve known

[Pre Chorus]
The memory haunts all the quiet
Wherever you go, wherever you go
And you can’t seem to a finger on it
But it follows you home, all the way home

[Chorus]
Falling fast from the pedestal, now you condescend
Wasted 8 whole years when I couldn't pay your dividends
I thought that you’d be here until the bitter end
Nothing hurts like losing, losing a friend

[Verse 2]
Run into you ‘cause we both stayed in state
Fake niceties cause everything’s fake
It seems like you’re doing great
I guess I am too

But I still remember playing in your backyard
Driving to dance class in the back of your mom’s car
Tennis court popstars
Well maybe I’ll still make that true

[Chorus]
Falling fast from the pedestal, now you condescend
Wasted 8 whole years when I couldn't pay your dividends
I thought that you’d be here until the bitter end
Nothing hurts like losing, losing a friend

[Interlude]
(losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing yeah)
(losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing)

[Bridge]
I still thank you for all of the good times
When you were the only person in my corner
I adored ya
You’ll always be written in the story of my life
I know people change and time begets time
I’m sure you’re a gem but I guess you just weren’t mine

Falling fast from the pedestal

[Chorus]
Oh falling fast from the pedestal, now you condescend
Wasted 8 whole years when I couldn't pay your dividends
I thought that you’d be here until the bitter end
Nothing hurts like losing, losing a friend
