I Could Use A Friend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Swear I wasn't always like this I could handle anything But, lately, I feel like a stranger Living in my own skin And, the older that I'm getting The less I'm letting out I can feel my heart screaming But I never make a sound [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know how much of this I can take [Chorus] If only I Could say what I'm thinking Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again And I'm getting tired Of smiling and laughing With nobody asking how I really am Oh, I could use a friend [Verse 2] It took a lot for me to call ya But, now I've got you on the phone I don't wanna cut the small talk Just to say, "I feel alone" 'Cause I don't wanna be a burden Make it about me Try to keep it on the surface So you don't see underneath [Pre-Chorus] And I don't know how much of this I can take [Chorus] If only I Could say what I'm thinking Instеad, I'm just sinking in silence again And I'm getting tirеd Of smiling and laughing With nobody asking how I really am [Bridge] Oh, I could use a friend Much more than I'd admit Don't wanna state the obvious, but I've been losing it 'Cause, even though I'm scared I wanna let you in But, every time I try, I swear the air is turning thin But I wanna let you in [Chorus] If only I Could say what I'm thinking Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again And I'm getting tired Of smiling and laughing With nobody asking how I really am Oh, I could use a friend [Outro] Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, I could use a friend Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh, I could use a friend
