I've been on my own Trying to carry this alone Only so much weight my back could take I'm sinking like a stone Now I see my face In a broken window pane I could use someone to help me pick up The pieces that remain When everything is blue All I need is you I'm so close to the edge And I need a friend I need a friend Somebody when the world starts caving in I need a hand I need a friend I'm trying to remember what it's like To be young and alive I'm so close to the edge And I need a friend I need a friend Oh, where are you now? I've been calling to reach out 'Cause I'm only human going through it My eyes rain like clouds Would you take my call When my head's against the wall? Would you sit me down and hear me out? Would you call me beautiful? I'm so close to the edge And I need a friend I need a friend Somebody when the world starts caving in I need a hand I need a friend I'm trying to remember what it's like To be young and alive I'm so close to the edge And I need a friend I need a friend, oh When everything is blue (I need a friend, I need a friend) All I need is you (I need a friend) I'm so close to the edge And I need a friend I need a friend Somebody when the world starts caving in I need your hand I need a friend
