On “I Need a Friend,” Sik feels the negative effects of not having a shoulder to lean on in times of need. Sik identifies the problems caused by the absence of a friend and expresses his loneliness over a soulful acoustic guitar melody.
[Chorus]
I lost my mind, 'cause I need a friend
I just hate life, 'cause I need a friend
Last night I cried, 'cause I need a friend
Alone this time, 'cause I need a friend
[Verse]
Tired of being alone, tired of being at home
Tired of feeling stuck, tired of feelin' low
Tired of all this pain, tired of feelin' numb
Tired of takin' blame, tired of givin' love
Tired of gettin' played, tired of being attached
Tired of havin' faith, tired of fakin' laughs
Tired of losin' sleep, tired of lyin' awake
Tired of what I've seen, tired of being replaced
Wonder if she regrets it when she sees where I'm headed
I'm dealing with the pressure, I'm dealing with depression
Girls aren't really investing, I'm only an investment
My last ex really told me, when I first sent a message
She wasn't interested, but then saw my successes
After I didn't trust her, hurts 'cause I really loved her
Shortly after I left her, broken but it's whatever
I just got a therapist, if she calls, I'ma tell her
[Chorus]
I lost my mind, 'cause I need a friend
I just hate life, 'cause I need a friend
Last night I cried, 'cause I need a friend
Alone this time, 'cause I need a friend
[Outro]
'Cause I-I-I, it's 'cause I need a friend (Oh)
'Cause I-I-I, it's 'cause I need a friend (Oh)
