“How the hell did I lose a friend I never had” hits SO hard. There are people i thought i knew, people I trusted so much, people I would have and did go to the ends of the earth for. All to find out they didn’t ever consider me a friend in turn. It hurts so much

[@andrew5169]

Totally know how it feels like, I cared a lot about so many people, but they NEVER cared back, and thinking about it just makes me depressed, and I've been diagnosed with depression for 2 years, it got better in the summer but after my best friend it all went downhill, and recently my best friend suddenly stopped caring about me, so yeah dude it sucks, and this song is so relatable for me lol.

Munazza H I think he’s saying how did I have someone that I thought was a “friend” when they really weren’t a good loyal friend to me who I ended up losing. And yes it was hard because this person I thought was a friend at the time i lost, but it turns out they weren’t my friend from the start. It’s hard to lose any friend so that’s why I felt that on a personal level

[@nahiyankabir4686]

Lyrics I lost a friend Like keys in a sofa Like a wallet in the back seat Like ice in the summer heat I lost a friend Like sleep on a red-eye Like money on a bad bet Like time worryin' about Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight I'll be lying awake Countin' all the mistakes I've made Replayin' fights I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight I lost a friend, I lost a friend I lost my mind And nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad" And I'll be fine without him But all I do is write about him How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? Never had I'm on the mend Like I'm wearin' a neck brace Like I'm sleepin' at my own place Like I'm pullin' all the stitches out of my own face I'm on the mend Like I'm icing a new sprain Like I'm walkin' on a new cane Like it's been a couple days Since I slipped and said somethin' sorta like your name I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight I'll be lying awake Countin' all the mistakes I've made Replayin' fights I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend I lost my mind And nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad" And I'll be fine without him But all I do is write about him How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? I'd apologize If I thought it might make a difference Or make you listen I'd apologize If it was black and white, but life is different Just try to listen to me now I know I'll be alright But I'm not tonight I lost a friend, I lost a friend I lost my mind And nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be twenty and sad" And I'll be fine without him But all I do is write about him How the hell did I lose a friend I never had?

[@amanda371]

I lost a friend to depression recently. He was my closest online friend and I would stay up and spend many sleepless nights talking to him. Now I spend many sleepless nights thinking about the time we used to have. What I regret the most is not being able to fully be there for him since the distance made it very hard. The news of his passing came as a big shock and I can relate it to the lyrics in the beginning of this song. I will forever have regrets of things I didn't say however I truly hope that he knew how much respect and appreciation I had and still have for him. Sometimes I listen back to our old voice messages and I will forever miss those times his notifications lit up my phone screen.

Doesn't it, though? I grew up in Kansas, and have always suffered with depression to some degree. I lived in a turbulent home, and spent many-a-dusks escaping to places that looked a lot like this, to just breathe, and be somewhere that it was safe to feel my emotions, and cry, or scream, or ramble if I needed too. This video and song brought me back to that feeling of a numb catharsis, after taking space to cry and feel, and process things alone, in peace. The dancers reminded me of racing thoughts, for some reason.

“When your happy, you enjoy the lyrics, When you are sad you understand the lyrics.” There are lines in this song that resonate with what I’m feeling and I’m sure many other people here are too. People often just enjoy the music but in songs like this, you understand every word because it’s as if the song was made for you and you only.

You keep listening because you like the beat, and then one day after something happened and reality hits you right in the face, the song comes up once more and the full meaning of the lyrics dawns on you. Ah yes, the mastery of a good songwriter.

[@BASSETTI8]

Finally a song about a “friendship breakup.” Honestly, they hurt just as badly as a romantic breakup. I lost my best friend at the end of high school and I still have dreams of her time to time and think about her. That was over 6 years ago. You expect friends to be there forever. So when things end, it’s killer.

I feel you and I am sorry for you. I had a similar thing happen about a month ago with a girl I tried having a relationship with. It ''did not work out'' as she could not provide the love I gave to her back. She said we could still be friends, but she does not treat me as her lover nor friend. Actions speak louder than words.

[@seyoungkim8767]

His friend symbolised whatever made him happy, and he used to know what that was. Insidiously, depression kicked in yet he assured himself that he'd be fine. But that's the thing about depression, it creeps in and stays with you, regardless of not knowing what you are depressed about. Hence, being sad over a lost friend that you never had. It's a great song that each individual can relate to from different lenses. Curious tho, did anyone else interpret it this way?

[@marieferbasco7530]

“How the hell did I lose a friend I never had “ completely resonates with me . I met a person months ago and I didn’t expect that I would’ve found a precious friendship with him. We have this great connection as a person which we could really reflect on each other. I value him greater than a friend or a guy but rather as a person . We knew that infatuation couldn’t win over the relationship(as friend) we never expected to happen . One day I received a message and to my dismay I found out that she’s a wife of my friend and they’ve been married for 5 years. I never knew that he has a wife as he told me he has no gf at the moment and his wife said that he’s been cheating on her with me , I was so nervous and asked my friend to clarify everything. He admitted that he did a big mistake that would cost our friendship and his relationship for his wife come to an end ,he knew that anything he could say won’t justify everything had happened . At the end I chose to listen coz I knew there’s always a root why we did something out of impulse (It might be his wife is emotionally unavailable to him or it could be him causes him to find someone to talk to and didn’t expect that he would like me as a person and become infatuated at the same time ) I just wanna hear him saying his mistakes and remorse for hurting our feelings . I asked him if the connection we unexpectedly feel for each other was just one sided or the connection that we had as a person was beyond infatuation . I was happy finding out that it’s truth that for one in a million he found great connection with me as a person (not romantically speaking). We couldn’t stay friends after all , he apologized and asked for forgiveness and I forgave him wholeheartedly for deceiving both his wife and me . We finally say goodbye and sever our connection . That’s how we close that certain chapter of our friendship in our life . He’s definitely the friend I lost but I never had . 😔

"How the hell did I lose a friend I never had"

[@laurapaim358]

LYRICS: I lost a friend Like keys in a sofa Like a wallet in the backseat Like ice in the summer heat I lost a friend Like sleep on a red-eye Like money on a bad bet Like time worrying about Every bad thing that hasn't happened yet I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made Replaying fights I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I lost a friend, I lost a friend I lost my mind, and nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad" And I'll be fine without 'em But all I do is write about 'em How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? Never had I'm on the mend Like I'm wearing a neck brace Like I'm sleeping in my own place Like I'm pulling all the stitches out of my own face I'm on the mend Like I'm icing a new sprain Like I'm walking on a new cane Like it's been a couple days Since I slipped and said something sorta like your name I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I'll be lying awake counting all the mistakes I've made Replaying fights I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I'm on the mend, but I lost a friend I lost my mind, and nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad" And I'll be fine without 'em But all I do is write about 'em How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? I'd apologize if I thought it might make a difference Or make you listen I'd apologise if it was black and white But life is different Just try to listen to me now I know I'll be alright, but I'm not tonight I lost a friend, I lost a friend I lost my mind, and nobody believes me Say, "I know that he don't need me 'Cause he made a little too much money to be 20 and sad" And I'll be fine without 'em But all I do is write about 'em How the hell did I lose a friend I never had? Never had

I don't think I'm ever gonna stop going back to this song, every lyric hits so hard and it's so relatable to me. Me and my best friend stopped talking not long after I turned 20, I was heartbroken basically to put a long story short we had become very different people and had such a big disagreement that I couldn't look at this person the same anymore, I was continually writing songs about him but couldn't release any as I felt like it would have made things definite that we just aren't friends anymore I remember listening to this track one day and just breaking down in tears over how perfectly relatable this became, what a masterpiece of a song you've made Finneas we love you.

[@noellewhorf1578]

*”i know i’ll be alright, but i’m not tonight”* i think about that lyric often. i’m generally a very realistic, practical person. i wouldn’t say i’m an optimist but i just see things as they are. while falling into a place of overwhelming sadness, i have the ability to assure myself that its “just the moment”. but even so, it’s such a melancholy, lonely, and hopeless sensation. such a simple lyric that embodies a complex feeling so perfectly. finneas is pure genius.

[@buma_boya]

[@noellewhorf1578]

HAHAHHA YES I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD NOTICE

[@diamondsprince]

my favourite lyric also, though i think it might mean something different to me. i conisder myself a rational, no-nonsense type of guy. and every so often when i have to deal with a really rough situation and it hits me hard emotionally for whatever reason, the logical part of me is yelling at me to calm down, reminding me that "ill be alright." but the emotions are just too much. thats what it is for me, like knowing that ill be okay later, but having to have to deal with the emotions in the moment.

Zahra Kelany what does he mean with that?

[@sc3961]

@@Fatazo I'd interpret it as: They (Finneas) were naive all along, putting the friend's mistakes under the carpet, but that person was never really their friend, as they knew all along, but at the point of the song, the "tonight" ("I'll be alright, but not tonight"), the betrayal (or something similar) happened, and they lost said friend for good, and for real. What was anticipated finally came. One of them, probably the friend, showed the true colors, that Finneas knew about all along (that's what they mean with "i never had"). Or I just might be bullshitting and philosophizing a bunch, but that's how I see the story.

Thank you FINNEAS for covering this! I use music to express myself and to get my feelings out, this song really helped. I had a friend who was my best friend just to find out he never cared about me and he played me, pretending to be my friend. No one ever covers the subject of losing a best friend or someone they though was a best friend or a friend in general. People only ever cover romantic relationships, which is sad because losing best friends is just as painful. Thank you for helping me and many others out there express our pain and let us let it all out. We hear the cracks in your voice covering this, it helps express how painful losing a best friend is because it’s extremely painful.

[@dominikpass9553]

This is a serious piece of art, my friends!

[@catcactus1234]

I’ve always interpreted this song as the singer losing himself. His past self was the friend he lost. The first part of the song is describing how something just silently fades from your life, like you don’t even notice it leaving until it’s gone. That’s him growing up, forgetting who he used to be and not realizing it until now. Then he goes on to describe how his present self is “on the mend”, or improving from his past life. In the chorus, he says he will be fine without his past life, but all he can do is write about it (his previous relationships, his past experiences, etc.) People are telling him to move on from his past life, but his career is literally built on reliving it through songs. He goes on to explain that even though he’s 20 and rich, he can’t help but miss the years when he wasn’t in the spotlight. Finally, the phrase “how the hell did I lose a friend I never had” is essentially saying that he didn’t like who he was before, or just never had peace with himself until that point. He was never able to befriend himself, or enjoy who he was before, yet he still feels sad reminiscing about his younger, fame-free years escaping him. *EDIT:* Yes, I know this probably isn’t what Finneas wrote the song about. It’s just fun to think of stories behind the songs regardless of the author’s intentions sometimes.

As someone who is dealing with Post concusion syndrom TBI, PTSD THis song hits me from a different point. I fee like I lost myself and most people that are not in my close family do not under stand. I forget so many things that I want to remeber and yet I remeber so much that I wish I could forget. THe simple lyrics of I lost a friend like I lost keys brekas my heart. Becasue thats how I feel, and how knowone seems to believe it. they just see me and think Im ok since I look physicaly ok. they dont hear the constant voices in my head, the screaming in my dreams, the pain from the constant migraines and not know if I will be able to tolerate the sun today to walk my dog today, or how I hate being too tired to listen to my wifes day when she gets home from work because my brain has reached its point. Id like to end with one thing. I come across comments on these videos all the time and I want to say to someone who is dealing with PCS, TBI, PTSD or anything. Things will get better, days will be hard, Im not too long into recovery but even now Im regainin g somethings back and I wish you the best!
