Billy Lockett I Could Use A Friend
[Verse 1]
Swear I wasn't always like this
I could handle anything
But, lately, I feel like a stranger
Living in my own skin
And, the older that I'm getting
The less I'm letting out
I can feel my heart screaming
But I never make a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know how much of this I can take
[Chorus]
If only I
Could say what I'm thinking
Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again
And I'm getting tired
Of smiling and laughing
With nobody asking how I really am
Oh, I could use a friend
[Verse 2]
It took a lot for me to call ya
But, now I've got you on the phone
I don't wanna cut the small talk
Just to say, "I feel alone"
'Cause I don't wanna be a burden
Make it about me
Try to keep it on the surface
So you don't see underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't know how much of this I can take
[Chorus]
If only I
Could say what I'm thinking
Instеad, I'm just sinking in silence again
And I'm getting tirеd
Of smiling and laughing
With nobody asking how I really am
[Bridge]
Oh, I could use a friend
Much more than I'd admit
Don't wanna state the obvious, but I've been losing it
'Cause, even though I'm scared
I wanna let you in
But, every time I try, I swear the air is turning thin
But I wanna let you in
[Chorus]
If only I
Could say what I'm thinking
Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again
And I'm getting tired
Of smiling and laughing
With nobody asking how I really am
Oh, I could use a friend
[Outro]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, I could use a friend
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, I could use a friend
