Charlie Brennan - Old Friend lyrics

Every night I take the long way home
Not 'cause I like it 'Cause then I get
Another chance to see the empty space
In the driveway outside of your place

It isn’t healthy
It won’t help me and it’s not what I planned
But the pain feels the same as
It did when it began
I know there’s nothing I can do
But it’s the closest I can
Be to being with you

Will I still be someone in your eyes?
Cause you’ll always be someone in mine
When I see your face
With the one who takes my place
Will you tell him everything or just pretend
That what we had didn’t mean anything?
And I’m just an old friend

Would you say the way he says your name
Reminds you of someone you once knew
And all these places that he takes you to
Do they bring you back
Or do they feel brand new?

I don’t expect to still be friends but
We can’t be nothing at all
I don’t know where I can turn when
You’re the one I used to call
If I ever find somebody new
All I’ll see in them is the ghost of you

Will I still be someone in your eyes?
Cause you’ll always be someone in mine
When I see your face
With the one who takes my place
Will you tell him everything or just pretend
That what we had didn’t mean anything?
And I’m just an old friend

Who put you first
Gave you love you didn’t think you deserved
Promised to be there for better or worse
Like any old friend would do

Will I still be someone in your eyes
Cause you’ll always be someone in mine
When I see your face
With the one who takes my place
Will you tell him everything or just pretend
That what we had didn’t mean anything
And I’m just an old friend

Who put you first
Gave you love you didn’t think you deserved
Promised to be there for better or worse
Like any old friend
