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 the place 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 would do
