Friend

I've been on my own

Trying to carry this alone

Only so much weight my back could take

I'm sinking like a stone

Now I see my face

In a broken window pane

I could use someone to help me pick up

The pieces that remain

When everything is blue

All I need is you

I'm so close to the edge

And I need a friend

I need a friend

Somebody when the world starts caving in

I need a hand

I need a friend

I'm trying to remember what it's like

To be young and alive

I'm so close to the edge

And I need a friend

I need a friend

Oh, where are you now?

I've been calling to reach out

'Cause I'm only human going through it

My eyes rain like clouds

Would you take my call

When my head's against the wall?

And would you sit me down and hear me out?

Would you call me beautiful?

I'm so close to the edge

And I need a friend

I need a friend

Somebody when the world starts caving in

I need a hand

I need a friend

I'm trying to remember what it's like

To be young and alive

I'm so close to the edge

And I need a friend

I need a friend, oh

When everything is blue (I need a friend, I need a friend)

All I need is you (I need a friend)

I'm so close to the edge

And I need a friend

I need a friend

Somebody when the world starts caving in

I need your hand

I need a friend
