My girl thinks I’ve got a death wish
Want to stay home
Want to slit my wrist
Only haven’t - I’m afraid of the blade
And no one wants to clean up
All the mess that would make
Yeah I know
I’ve got a lot of problems
I was hoping that you could help me solve them
Before a bullet is in my head
And then she said
Time will wash away
The wounds you feel today
And I will stay here with you
Make sure you’re ok
We all get down sometimes
But things will work out fine
I’ve known you for so long
Be my friend for life
This time I hope you see
True friends are rare indeed
And I would like to thank you
For being there for me
Sometimes you know you have to live and learn
Sometimes you know you’re gonna have to crash and burn
Well you helped me out
Cause I’m down not out
Hiding in your room
Writing all of these songs
Of doom and of gloom
But don’t ever forget
You’ve always got a friend
Who is not going to quit
I’m not giving up yet
This song is for a friend
Who had an ear to lend
Back when I was younger
Back when I was on the edge
In a town where I had no friends
And so it went until
A girl I knew
Came and brought me light
And made it right
Hiding in my room
Writing all of these songs
Of doom and of gloom
But I won’t ever forget
That I’ve got a friend
Who is not going to quit
Not giving up on me.
