Lyrics

My Old Friend
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

Last time we spoke, I was hurt
When the dark clouds come over, I feel a struggle
You, and me - we hit a wall just because
Just like everyone does

And I don’t care for details anymore
I just want to remember how it was before

I know we didn’t want a messy ending
But sometimes you just can’t help it
I know we look back at this differently
But I choose to think of you happily
My old friend
My old friend

In distance we stood, apart
Was it fear or nonchalance? stubbornness or disregard?
I sit, tense in these words
For many years holding back, many things to unpack

But I don’t care for details anymore
I just want to remember how it was before

I know we didn’t want a messy ending
But sometimes you just can’t help it
I know we look back at this differently
But I choose to think of you happily
My old friend
My old friend

We never did get our movie ending
Maybe everyone has that one big regret
Sometimes I bump into you on the internet
And I fondly remember, I can’t forget
My old friend
My old friend

I know we didn’t want a messy ending
But sometimes you just can’t help it
I know we look back at this differently
But I choose to think of you happily
My old friend
My old friend
