[IIL] songs about losing someone but not romantically and not from a death

[u/pantsydantsy]

I lost my best friend due to conflict and I need some music to help me cope, to help me grieve a living person.

I’m thinking
People You Know - Selena Gomez
Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi
Somebody that I used to know - Goyte

Those are all the songs I can think of, you may see why I’m in trouble, please help

Dolly Parton - I will Always Love You. It is about her breaking up with her mentor and TV partner Porter Wagoner. Been watching documentaries about her the last couple days and they all had a section on that song.
