Gracie Abrams - Friend Lyrics

Gracie Abrams Lyrics

"Friend"

Pictures of the old us got me feelin' older
I just thought you should know I never wanted closure
But you had no problem leavin'
Now I'm the one to feel it

I just can't believe you don't know what I'm feelin'
Guess you got the best of this
Pickin' up the pieces, you just wanna leave 'em
Killin' me a little bit
And I hate the way you love me
And I hate that I still care
Funny how you feel like we would ever talk again
How could you think I'd be your friend?

I'm sure you're doin' fine, but I don't wanna hear it
And if I left my T-shirt, you can keep it

I don't wanna see you again if it's different
'Cause I'll only see all the things that I'm missin'
And I should've cut all the ties, but I didn't
I didn't let go

I just can't believe you don't know what I'm feelin'
Guess you got the best of this (Guess you got the best of this)
Pickin' up the pieces, you just wanna leave 'em
Killin' me a little bit (Killin' me a little bit)
And I hate the way you love me
And I hate that I still care (I still care)
Funny how you feel like we would ever talk again
How could you think I'd be?

You had no problem leavin'
Now I'm the one to feel it

I just can't believe you don't know what I'm feelin'
Guess you got the best of this (Guess you got the best of this)
Pickin' up the pieces, you just wanna leave 'em
Killin' me a little bit (Killin' me a little bit)
And I hate the way you love me
And I hate that I still care (I still care)
So funny how you feel like we would ever talk again
How could you think I'd be your friend?

"Friend" is the lead single from Gracie Abrams's EP "Minor". The song was premiered on July 14, 2020, accompanied by a music video.

Gracie Abrams told that "Friend" was about "the feeling of seeing someone completely and entirely differently for the first time after you've grown used to expecting typical behaviors. It's the initial shock. The anger that becomes comical after the first few hours of noticing change."

Speaking with Zane Lowe form Apple Music, Gracie Abrams explained, "I feel like normally when I'm writing about any of my relationships with anyone in my life, I'm always coming at it from a place of… almost a self pity. This song came from a different place and it was more of anger, frustration, disgust with someone that you used to love."
