A friend went away to another town

Where you set your watch to the sound of a pound

The first girl I loved soon followed it seemed

And when the second one went we were choosing teams

She got hers and I got mine

But somehow everybody seem to get on fine

But we were losing friends over love

Losing friends over love



When I went out just the other night

I said "put your hands up, cause we're gonna fight"

But who am I to act so tough

When I learn so little and forget so much

Now the heart will break when it hits the ground

So wake up little girl you're a woman now

But we were losing friends over love

Losing friends over love



Alright now



Some move forward and some move back

Some buy a ticket and don't come back

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



Some go up and some fall down

Some buy a ticket and leave this town

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



No one says a word but their lips are poised

Cause everybody's got an opinion of course

And we were losing friends over love

Losing friends over love

All the stupid Things you do at night

When you been up for three days and you're so uptight

And we were losing friends over love

Losing friends over love

Losing friends over love

Losing friends over love



Alright now



Some move forward and some move back

Some buy a ticket and don't come back

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



Some go up and some fall down

Some buy a ticket and leave this town

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



She could run away to London

She could run overseas

A merry go round in another town

It all seems the same to me



Alright now



Some move forward and some move back

Some buy a ticket and don't come back

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



Some go up and some fall down

Some buy a ticket and leave this town

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



Some go up and some fall down

Some buy a ticket and leave this town

How did everything go wrong

We're all just trying to carry on



We're all just trying to carry on
