Old Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I swear that there's nothing right with me, man
I start shit, I'm picking fights whenever I can
I want to leave it all like you did, broken
I want to leave it just like I found it
Wish I could be a thief, a liar or just selfish
I'm done with how this world makes me heartsick
[Chorus]
No one knows the pain like you did
Wish we could talk it out like old friends
Do my best to smile through this
Till we can talk it out like old friends, old friends
[Verse 2]
They say the saddest people in this world laugh the hardest
Yeah that's me, smiling it all away so you don't feel my pain
Now maybe you'll look back at our good times, pay no mind
I'll hate myself but brighten your dark days
I sit up every night, get no sleep and pen dreams
Not feeling all this love that surrounds me
I am the one at your door in the rain
I am the one staring back at your face, shine some rays
Give it all till there's nothing left
[Chorus]
No one knows the pain like you did
Wish we could talk it out like old friends
Do my best to smile through this
'Til we can talk it out like old friends, yeah just like old friends
[Chorus]
No one knows the pain like you did
Wish we could talk it out like old friends
Do my best to smile through this
'Til we can talk it out like old friends, old friends
[Outro]
Old friends, like old friends
Old friends, like old friends
Old friends, like old friends
Old friends, like old friends
I’m sick of losing sleep and counting sheep again
Brain was a peacefully grazed place
Place where your heart stayed
And the fence is open and it sits where the sun stays
Burns it away
