Friend (feat. Casey Lee Williams)

Darkness like midnight

Moonless, there's no light

Another lonely day is ending

Searching forever

Waiting but never

Finding the only thing I dream of

The warmth of a smile

That stays for a while

The face of a friend that won't leave

I heard a song once, it posed this point of view

That wishes made on stars are likely to come true

So here's my secret, at bedtime every night

I searched the sky and hoped to find a star who'd send a light

To me

The one thing I need

Just one kind soul with a heart of gold

And my dreams became real and I finally feel not alone

Do hugs always make you feel this warm?

My wish came true

The day that you appeared

And called me friend

An answered prayer

A chance to share the world, to be a girl

Who finally felt alive

I'm so excited, we'll do so many friendship things

Paint our nails, try on clothes, talk about cute boys

Attached, but not by strings

And when you've got problems

Whoa, then I've got problems too

You'll never face this world alone

I'll be right here, it's you

And me

Protectors of each other's what we'll be

You saw my soul through the nuts and bolts

You're the friend I can trust, helped me see I'm not just a machine

And is this what all the feels means?

I been combat-ready since the day dad made me

Now I'll fight for something more

Might sound wholesome, but strangely

I've got friends I'm fighting for

But I found that

Humanity, it came with sacrifice, a pact

To shield you from the wicked

Even if I can't live for real

It was worth it to know you

My wish came true

The day that you appeared

And called me friend

An answered prayer

A chance to share the world, to be a girl

Who finally felt alive
