Lyrics

All I really need is a friend

Just a friend

See this is Siri the Apollo's eyes

I just wanna take this time to apologize to all you guys

I admit, there's been times that I've told you lies

Just to get out of hanging out, I'm a selfish and a boring guy

The same ones that always stuck by my side and made the time for me

I couldn't return the favor, that's kinda me

So I don't blame the ones that left without saying bye to me

I promise you, this ain't who I'm trying to be

It's just that I have been silently battling

These inner demons privately and quietly

But finally I've been snapping out

Of it, slowly getting back to normal

Reflecting on my past actions, they were horrible

I'm sorry, all you wanted was a friend

All I wanted was a bottle, some good music and my headset

I've become a solitary man, stubborn

But now I can see the way I treated you was very bad

So please forgive my former self because I've changed now

I'm in a different place, out the hole, I feel great now

I wanna patch things up and make amends

I want there to be truth every time I say we're friends

All I really need is a friend

Just a friend

On top of being flaky I've been very busy

Get off a fifteen hour work day, still gotta go take care of business

Go to my second job at my uncle's warehouse

I'm always on the go, I don't even know my own whereabouts

Graphic design on the side, I got clients

I got going to bed at one and waking up at five down to a science

Wake up feeling fantastic, go about my day

Band practice on Sundays, go back home and I change

'Cause after that I can't relax, I got groceries

Bring it back, cook it up, grab a fork and eat

Dishes after, walk the dog too, running up and down

It seems like my feet almost never touch the ground

I'm just busy, but we're all busy

We're just trying to survive in this large city

And I apologize to any artist ever working with me

That I ever had 'em waiting on me 'cause I had a verse to complete

Shout out Sasuke, wish I contributed more

Was always with you lately, just not in the physical form

'Cause my time was being consumed by a job I despise

But I'm still with you all, I promise you guys

Sometimes the hardest loss isn't a dramatic betrayal

It's just quietly outgrowing someone who used to feel like home

Yeah, there's no villain in this story, nobody did anything wrong

You both just evolved in different directions and the

Friendship that once fit perfectly now feels forced

And that's okay, that's actually healthy

But it still hurts

I need friends

All I really need is a friend

Just a friend
