Used To Be Friends
Echoes of Friendship Lost: Big Joanie's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
Remember when we used to be friends?
Reflecting on a past friendship and questioning its current state.
Oh so long ago now you only call me to tell
Noticing a significant time gap since the last meaningful interaction, with current contact being negative.
Me that you hate me
Receiving calls only to be informed about the other person's dislike or resentment.
Remember when we used to be friends?
Reiteration of the desire to reminisce about the past friendship.
Remember when we'd stay up all night?
Recalling nights spent conversing happily about shared interests.
Talking 'bout the ones we like?
Discussing and appreciating people both parties liked during their friendship.
Now I feel so lonely
Expressing a current feeling of loneliness.
You said you'd never hate me
Contrasting the present hatred with a previous assurance of never feeling that way.
Remember when we'd stay up all night?
Nostalgically remembering staying up late together.
I'd like to be friends with you
Expressing a desire to rekindle the friendship.
But I only feel hatred
Acknowledging that the current emotion is dominated by hatred.
Remember when we cut off our hair?
Recalling a shared experience of cutting off hair, a symbol of rebellion or change.
Didn't care if anyone stared
Not caring about societal judgments during the mentioned shared experience.
Can't go back to those days
Realizing that certain experiences cannot be relived.
We'll never be the same again
Acceptance that the past cannot be replicated, and the friendship has changed permanently.
Remember when we cut off our hair?
Revisiting the shared memory of cutting off hair.
Remember when we'd walk down the road?
Recalling walks down the road as a symbol of shared experiences.
Found a path of our own?
Finding joy in creating their own path.
Difference is only pleasing
Emphasizing that differences are enjoyable when unaware of what's missing.
When you don't know what you're missing
Reflecting on the contrast between past and present perceptions of differences.
Remember when we'd walk down the road?
Revisiting the shared memory of walking down the road.
I'd like to be friends with you
Expressing a continued desire for friendship despite current feelings.
But I only feel hatred
Reiterating the dominance of hatred in the current emotional state.
Remember when we used to be friends?
Repeating the reflection on the past friendship.
Remember when we used to be friends?
Further emphasizing the reminiscence of past friendship.
Remember when we used to be friends?
Continuing to recall the once-shared connection.
Remember me?
Prompting the other person to remember the speaker.
