Use A Friend

I was looking for a friend to tell

The separation’s getting harder and farther every day

But you just talk about yourself

And how my situation reminds you of your cat that ran away

Oh, it's not comparable

Nowhere near the same

Oh, I could use a friend, I could use a friend

Could really use a friend

But I don't wanna be the one, the one

The one who makes you feel better

I don’t wanna be the one, the one, that makes you feel alright

Only now I see the way, the way, the way my misery’s measured

Oh-oh, I could use a friend, I could use a friend

But really in the end, I’d rather lose a friend like you

Ooh-ooh

Like you

Ooh-ooh

And I’d hardly gotten started

When you stopped me just to tell me how my moon was out of phase

And then you laughed and changed the subject

'Cause your life's been fine in spite of Mercury in retrograde

Where's your empathy?

Astrology’s not the same

Oh, I could use a friend, I could use a friend

Could really use a friend

But I don't wanna be the one, the one

The one who makes you feel better

I don’t wanna be the one, the one, that makes you feel alright

Only now I see the way, the way, the way my misery’s measured

Oh-oh, I could use a friend, I could use a friend

But really in the end, I’d rather lose a friend like you

Ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh

Using all my tragedies

Like reading gossip magazines

To tell yourself

At least that isn't me

I don't wanna be the one, the one

The one who makes you feel better

I don’t wanna be the one, the one, that makes you feel alright

Only now I see the way, the way, the way my misery’s measured

Oh-oh, I could use a friend, I could use a friend

But really in the end, I’d rather lose a friend like you
