Anymore (Dear Old Friend)

X P

A song about old friends I wrote a couple years ago & recorded last year and finally got round to putting it all together this year!

lyrics:

Dear old friend I thought I saw your face in a crowd
These memories are too loud for me
My mind’s probably playing tricks on me

And I pass the street where you lived and I still remember your house
So vivid so vibrant so sad and sore
Knowing you don’t live there anymore

Anymore
I wish I could drag you from my mind
Tear and your neck, claw at your eyes
and scream at you to leave
Please leave me be
And I
Think I still miss you but I can’t be sure
Think I just miss not being insecure
Do you even think of me at all?
Anymore…

Dear old friend you were in my dreams last night
No peace for the wicked or maybe just spite
Whatever it is could you just keep it quiet
And I wonder if I’d ever even hear of your death
Or just feel it like a stab to my chest?
That you’re gone and you’re gone and you’re gone and you’re gone

And I
Wish I could drag you from my mind
Tear and your neck, claw at your eyes
and scream at you to leave
Please leave me be
And I
want to reach out to you but I’m so tired
I scream and I falter and I tremble like a child
I often wonder if I even want you to
Anymore

Anymore

Dear old friend
I guess it’s up to me to tell you
Sometimes I wish that I still knew you
Or the version of you that remains in my head
Can’t go back
To what we were before we fell out
Back when everything was sure I’ve no doubt
That that place don’t exist anymore…
