“My Friends”
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide ’cause I’ll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her 7 years
For being sad
[Chorus:]
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely, too
When you don’t know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
[Chorus]
Imagine me
Taught by tragedy
Release
Is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
“To give your love no matter what.”
Is what she said.
[Chorus]
I can’t take direction, and my socks are never
clean
Teachers dated me, my parents hated me
I was always in a fight cuz I can’t do nothin’
right
Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can’t take the person starin’ back at me
I’m a hazard to myself
Don’t let me get me
I’m my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don’t wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
I wanna be somebody else, yeah
LA told me, “You’ll be a pop star,
All you have to change is everything you are.”
Tired of being compared to damn Britney Spears
She’s so pretty, that just ain’t me
Doctor, doctor won’t you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else?
Cuz I’m a hazard to myself
Don’t let me get me
I’m my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don’t wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
Don’t let me get me
I’m my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don’t wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
Doctor, doctor won’t you please prescribe
somethin
A day in the life of someone else?
Don’t let me get me
Don’t let me get me
I’m my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don’t wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
