we used to be as thick as thieves
Recalling a close connection or friendship that has faded.
but now you're just a distant memory

I let it go I carry on

No time for hate no sleep tonight

If these streets could talk they'd sell you out
Metaphorically suggesting that the environment would betray or reveal secrets if it could speak.
If these parts could walk they'd limp to sober up
