My Friend

I had a dream about living inside
A world made of memories I wish not to hide
From the rest of the world, the tension is so hard to ease
And I can barely breathe

And that heartfelt night that we spent
As we nuzzled and talked of the things that we needed to vent
And I haven’t seen you for days since… then

One more time I wish to review
As we go our separate ways with our lives to renew
With these blind and amusing memories we shared in this room

I know I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m acting a bit frantic
But my need to be loved doesn’t just stop with romance
I need you, my friend
As we talked of pasts we’ve loathed
It made me feel weaker, it made me feel cold
But I know that this isn’t the end
I’m so glad that we’re friends

I was so cold, oh so terrified
But you made a promise to never leave my side
As I coward in fear, a pillow drenched with makeup and tears
But you were there with me

And as I fell asleep safe in your guard
I awoke in the silence realizing that I fell hard
Against the pavement of realization I called fate

One more time I wish to review
As we go our separate ways with our lives to renew
With these dark and frustrating memories we shared in this room

I know I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m acting a bit frantic
But my need to be loved doesn’t just stop with romance
I need you, my friend
As we talked of the pasts we’ve loathed
It made me feel weaker, it made me feel cold
But I know that this isn’t the end
I’m so glad that we’re friends

It’s a different type of love, a different commitment
More than a best friend, but less than a relationship
Without affection, but the emotions still run too deep

We connect in different ways as my depression fades
I am never the same, we are never the same
Don’t listen to me now, I swear that this isn’t a game

I know I’m a hopeless romantic and I’m acting a bit frantic
But my need to be loved doesn’t just stop with romance
I need you, my friend
As we talked of the pasts we’ve loathed
It made me feel weaker, it made me feel cold
But I know that this isn’t the end
I’m so glad that we’re friends
