8 Whole Years

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
Thought you were a gem, but pressure turned diamond to stone
I should've known

The memory haunts all the quiet
Wherever you go, wherever you go
And you can't seem to put a finger on it
But it follows you home, all the way home

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

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 pop-stars
Well maybe I'll still make that true

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

(losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing yeah)
(losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing)

I still thank you for all of the good times
When you were the only person in my corner
I adored you
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

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
