Hello there, stranger
Could I give you a hand?
You don't know where that is?
Let me show you then!

I gave you directions
You left with the advice I had lent
We exchanged numbers
I had made a friend

Oh, my friend
We hung out together
Met in your house
Talked all day when times got rough

Oh, my friend
You are everything I wanted to be
Inspiring, cheerful and brave
But everything changed when you caved

We were telling our secrets and lies
We were laughing at one another
We thought about our future
Everything, together

Oh, my friend
I never knew
I never knew that you were breaking
Deep inside where you were shaking
The life you had been faking
I never knew

Oh, my friend
I thought I was the one to depend on
The friendship we had our hands on
It's wasn't the truth for you
You were trying to befriend me
Building blocks to set you free

Oh, my friend
You tried to escape from your prison
Broke free of your shackles
But it was too late
The guards surrounded you
And there, you met your end

Oh, my friend
