Mildred (Lost a Friend)

Has it really been three years since we chose that name?
And sat in each other's rooms with our guitars and dreams of fame
We used to stay up and plan our lives to the sound of your worn out beat
And drink through till the morning light and get our back's up off the seat

It just seems, seems like we lost a friend
It feels like the end
It feels like the end
Now it just seems, seems like we lost a friend
It feels like the end
It feels like the end

And now you're away to the city, and I'm still here by the sea
When you were a kid, a relentless child
But you should still be free
Without the missed opportunity hung around your neck
There's a way to know that it's mine in the sound of your every step

It just seems, seems like we lost a friend
It feels like the end
It feels like the end
Now it just seems, seems like we lost a friend
It feels like the end
It feels like the end

When I last stepped inside your house (inside your house)
We stayed up 'till the early hours (the early hours)
But you looked at me and said 'I can't'
(Said 'I can't')
'We're sudden strangers', but I swore that I was still the same

It just seems, seems like we lost a friend
It feels like the end
It feels like the end
Now it just seems, seems like we lost a friend
It feels like the end
It feels like the end
