My girl thinks I've got a death wish . Want to stay home . Want to slit my wrist . Only haven't - I'm afraid of the blade . And no one wants to clean up . All the mess that would make . Yeah I know . I've got a lot of problems . I was hoping that you could help me solve them . Before a bullet is in my head . And then she said . Time will wash away . The wounds you feel today . And I will stay here with you . Make sure you're ok . We all get down sometimes . But things will work out fine . I've known you for so long . Be my friend for life . This time I hope you see . True friends are rare indeed . And I would like to thank you . For being there for me . Sometimes you know you have to live and learn . Sometimes you know you're gonna have to crash and burn . Well you helped me out . Cause I'm down not out . Hiding in your room . Writing all of these songs . Of doom and of gloom . But don't ever forget . You've always got a friend . Who is not going to quit . I'm not giving up yet . This song is for a friend . Who had an ear to lend . Back when I was younger . Back when I was on the edge . In a town where I had no friends . And so it went until . A girl I knew . Came and brought me light . And made it right . Hiding in my room . Writing all of these songs . Of doom and of gloom . But I won't ever forget . That I've got a friend . Who is not going to quit . Not giving up on me.
