I almost called you on the phone last night
Just to hear your voice and know that everything would be alright
I heard it ringing as the phone fell to the floor,
and my thoughts were poisoned laced,
as I recalled your fall from grace.
Old friend, where have you been? Old friend, where have you been?
'Cause, this is not about our pride.
I thought we were better when we were standing side to side.
But you've chosen someone else, and you've left me by myself.
Old friend, where have you been? Old friend, where have you been?
Don't you remember when I was in love with you?
Well, I got over that fast, and I'll get over this too.
Old friend, where have you been? Old friend, where have you been?
'Cause, this is not about our pride.
I thought we were better when we were standing side to side.
But you've chosen someone else, and you've left me by myself.
Old friend, where have you been? Old friend, where have you been?
Don't worry your little heart, I'll be sure to forgive.
But I'll just as soon restart and relearn how to live.
'Cause, this is not about our pride.
I thought we were better when we were standing side to side.
But you've chosen someone else, and you've left me by myself.
Old friend, where have you been? Old friend, where have you been?
