Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna have friends
That I can trust
That love me for the man I've become, not the man that I was
And I wanna have friends
That'll let me be
All alone when being alone is all that I need
[Verse 2]
I wanna fit in
To the perfect space
Feel natural and safe in a volatile place
And I wanna grow old
Without the pain
Give my body back to the earth and not complain
[Verse 3]
Will you understand
When I am too old of a man?
And will you forget
When we have paid our debt?
Who did we borrow from?
Who did we borrow from?
[Verse 4]
Okay, part two, now clear the house
The party's over take the shouting and the people
Get out!
I have some business and a promise that I have to hold to
I do not care what you assume or what the people
Tell you!
[Verse 5]
Will you understand
When I am too old of a man?
And will you forget
When we have paid our debt?
Who did we borrow from?
Who did we borrow from?
[Verse 6]
I wanna have pride
Like my mother has
And not like the kind in the bible that turns you bad
I wanna have friends
That I can trust
That love me for the man I've become, not the man that I was
