I’ve been on my own
Trying to carry this alone
Only so much weight my back could take
I’m sinking like a stone
Now I see my face
In a broken window pane
I could use someone to help me pick up
The pieces that remain
When everything is blue
All I need is you
I’m so close to the edge
And I need a friend
I need a friend
Somebody when the world starts caving in
I need a hand
I need a friend
I’m trying to remember what it’s like
To be young and alive
I’m so close to the edge
And I need a friend
I need a friend
Oh, where are you now?
I’ve been calling to reach out
‘Cause I’m only human going through it
My eyes rain like clouds
Would you take my call
When my head’s against the wall?
Would you sit me down and hear me out?
Would you call me beautiful?
I’m so close to the edge
And I need a friend
I need a friend
Somebody when the world starts caving in
I need a hand
I need a friend
I’m trying to remember what it’s like
To be young and alive
I’m so close to the edge
And I need a friend
I need a friend, oh
When everything is blue (I need a friend, I need a friend)
All I need is you (I need a friend)
I’m so close to the edge
And I need a friend
I need a friend
Somebody when the world starts caving in
I need your hand
I need a friend
