I've been on my own Tryna carry this alone Only so much weight my back could take, I'm sinkin' like a stone And 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, ooh All I need is you, ooh I'm so close to the edge And I need a friend, yeah, I need a friend Somebody when the world starts cavin' in I need a hand, yeah, I need a friend I'm tryin' 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 callin' to reach out 'Cause I'm only human goin' through it My eyes rain like clouds Would you take my call When my head's against the wall? And 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, yeah, I need a friend Somebody when the world starts cavin' in I need a hand, yeah, I need a friend I'm tryin' 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, ooh (and I need a friend, I need a friend, I need a friend) All I need is you, ooh (and 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 cavin' in I need your hand, I need a friend
