[Verse 1]
What do I get for always being there?
You made cheap the hours I put in
When you needed me
When no one else seemed to care
And it's gone now, and it's gone now

[Verse 2]
You could've been so many better things
Take a look at yourself or what's left of it
And if I needed you (needed you)
Would you pretend to even care?
And it's gone now, and it's gone now

[Chorus]
I've lost a friend I've had
I've lost a friend I used to know
I've lost a friend I've had
And I've lost a friend I used to know
And youre gone to go be someone else
To find it all out
To do it yourself
And you're gone, and you're gone and I have nothing to show
And I've lost a friend I used to know

[Verse 3]
Tell me exactly what I want to hear
Tell me it’s over and done with
And we’ll sit back and laugh
To put it all in the past
And it's gone now, and it's gone now
Yeah
[Chorus]
I've lost a friend I've had
I've lost a friend I used to know
I've lost a friend I've had
And I've lost a friend I used to know
And youre gone to go be someone else
To find it all out
To do it yourself
And you're gone, and you're gone and I have nothing to show
And I've lost a friend I used to know

And I want him back

[Outro]
I've lost a friend I've had
I've lost a friend I used to know
I've lost a friend I've had
I've lost a friend I used to know
And I want him back
And I want him back
I've lost a friend I've had
I've lost a friend I used to know
