Friends

Sunshine crept into my bed today

But I wasn't in the mood, so I kindly turned away

And waited till he grew too tired to glow

'Cause he shows me things that I don't want to know

I do appreciate the ones who try

To reach out to the lonely, the nervous, and the shy

Those who try their very best to break through walls

But never wonder why I built them up at all

So I'll tell you how I feel

If you've got an ear to lend

Oh, a love that never starts

Is a love that never ends

I wish my dreams were real

And my worries were pretend

I wish we could be friends

I wrote down every evil thing I did

And it's longer than the list of the reasons I should live

Then a voice from somewhere says you're good enough

And suddenly the mean old world don't seem so rough

I see the crooked way you try to smile

And the broken way you laugh that reveals your inner child

Did you gather all your dreams to be buried in your past?

Or did the world love you enough to make them last?

So tell me how you feel

I've got an ear to lend

For a love that never starts

Is a pain that never ends

I wish my dreams were real

And my worries were pretend

I wish we could be friends

Kindness is worth more than gold today

I guess that's the reason why we keep it locked away

Where no one dares to look or tries to find

Till you lose the light that once shone in your eyes

And you see that all the love was only lies

And you punish anyone who even tries

And the person you once were begins to die

If I tell you how I feel

Will you promise to pretend

To understand my view

Will you tell me pain will end?

And many other lies

'Cause lies can do no harm

Show me where to find relief

Let it lead me to your arms

Tell me dreams are real

And worries just pretend

Tell me I'm your friend

Tell me I'm your friend
