Lyrics

I had a friend, let's call him "N"
We'd hit the town, didn't matter when
We'd grab a bite, travel miles away
Playin' tennis every Saturday
We had fun, just the two of us
Laughin' loud, not a lot of fuss
Thought we'd always be close like that
But now I see where I'm really at
Now even his brother's got more time for me
Guess that's how it's gonna be
I was just a filler, a name in line
A placeholder in his busy mind
Yeah, I'm closer to nothin' than I used to be
'Cause I'm no more than just a memory
Always last minute, never a plan
But his calendar's full for other friends
Askin' me to lend my gear
To play with folks I never hear
And when he's out, I'm never in
Unless there's no one else to fit in
I was there when no one called
Now I'm not needed much at all
Now even his brother's got more time for me
Guess that's how it's gonna be
I was just a filler, a name in line
A placeholder in his busy mind
Yeah, I'm closer to nothin' than I used to be
'Cause I'm no more than just a memory
Yeah, it hit me like a ton of bricks
I'm just a placeholder in the mix
Contact's fading, barely there
I'm not the one he goes to share
I was just around when he had space
Now I'm barely a name, just a face
And I don't feel it anymore
This friendship ain't what it was before
It's clear now, we've both stepped back
This friendship's faded, that's a fact
I'm not chasing, you're not trying
We've both let go without denying
What we had is done, that's plain to see
Now it's a two-way street, finally free
Finally free, yeah
Now even his brother's got more time for me
Guess that's how it's gonna be
I was just a filler, a name in line
A placeholder in his busy mind
Yeah, I'm closer to nothin' than I used to be
'Cause I'm no more than just a memory
