I Just Needed a Friend

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

So i could just sit here,

Listening to the breeze.

Say were all gonna die that curable disease.

So i'm ready to be taken wherever it takes me to,

But i'd rather just sit here,

Waiting for you.

So look,

See here.

This is all that i am.

Some amateur painting,

In a golden frame.

Forgive me

Forgive me,

Is all i have left.

I guess i just needed a friend.

Words that once sounded sweet,

To my ears.

Hold me close,

I am full of these fears

Here where i stutter and shake

Only a mistake.

Now we can play dress up!

Yes, i'll play the part.

I'll stand up and laugh at my own frightened heart.

Haha! haha!

Ain't it absurd how things can turn?

It's these kinds of nights,

I forget the lessons i've learned.

So look,

See here,

This is all that you are.

I tried to find out how broke down these walls

I'm sorry,

I'm sorry,

It had to be that way.

I guess i just needed a friend.

Words that once sounded sweet,

To my ears

Hold me closer,

I am full of these fears.

Here where i stutter and shake

Only a mistake.

Words that once sounded sweet,

To my ears

Hold me close,

I am full of these fears.

Here where i stutter and shake

Only a mistake.

Words that once sounded sweet

To my ears

Hold me close,

I am full of these fears.

Here where i stutter and shake,

Only a mistake.
