[Verse 1]
Looking at the world is not inspiring, it's intimidating
And I'm standing here, yeah I'm standing here and I'm just waiting
Waiting 'til the time is right, that's what we're saying
I don't know how it will go, I don't think I wanna know
[Pre-Chorus]
You're my only friend
You're my only friend
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Have you ever thought of walking away?
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout it every day
Oh, oh, oh
I could leave it all there's nothing to end
You're my only friend
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna talk about it
I feel like throwing up just thinking 'bout it
Don't wanna talk about it
Living like a dream but it isn't what I was expecting
Heard the mix today emotion free, think I'm disconnecting
Wait until the time is right, what are you saying?
I just know I'll have to go, that's why I had to let you know
[Pre-Chorus]
You're my only friend
You're my only friend
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh
Have you ever thought of walking away?
Oh, oh, oh
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout it every day
Oh, oh, oh
I could leave it all there's nothing to end
You're my only friend
