When You See My Friends (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]
I’m burned out like a bright light, I wasn’t ready for this
You’re adorable as hell, but I’m glancing at your wrist
Oh please have faith, I can be so cavalier
And when they start to ask questions, I’ll make sure to be clear

[Chorus]
When you see my friends, tell them hi for me
Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything
You turned and all you left me with was this broken key
So tell me what you think

[Verse 2]
Give it up for the long nights and all those terrible fights
Were you honest with yourself, every version of yourself?
Did you get lost on the side of the road?
If you keep acting this way, I swear I’ll never come home

[Chorus]
When you see my friends, tell them hi for me
Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything
We walk alone on this broken road for eternity
So give me company and help me sing this lonely melody
You turned and all you left me with was this broken key
So tell me what you think

[Bridge]
Sign me up, no regrets
Make a man out of me
And I won’t say a word and I’ll give all the things
That you want and I need just to give me some peace
At the bottom of the ocean there’s a place for you and me
Lead the way, straight ahead (This is my valiant effort)
You gave me the time of my life and it cut like a knife to the bone (This is the best thing that I can afford)

[Chorus]
When you see my friends, tell them hi for me
Tell them what you think about the way you handled everything
So neat and clean, well the world is full of such pretty things
So do your best for me
