dear friend, [11_19_2019]
i never look up to see where I am
i never want to know the score
that there’s no one to hold my hand
i’ve been here before
is there something that i’m doing wrong
is there a better way to sing this song
maybe i’ll just sing it alone
to the years behind me
and the ones i’ll never own
so emptiness is my only friend
that’s always there
to lend an ear
and tell me how it is
let’s sing along together
and cherish one another now
(i never look up to see where i am)
i want to be your friend for now and ever
we’ll be the story that never ends
this emptiness, my friend
i never tear up when i’m down any more
it’s just the same news i’ve heard before
but i still believe that i can be the one that someone needs
like a fairy tale no one reads
so emptiness is my only friend
that’s always free
to lend and ear
and tell me how it’s going to be
let’s sing along together
and cherish one another now
(i never look up to see where i am)
i want to be your friend for now and ever
we’ll be the story that never ends
this emptiness, my friend
so say you’ll always be there for me
when i’m down and wanting someone
emptiness, my friend
so sweetly
we’ll sail away into our sea of lies
