Friend - Alicia Witt

how do i put this well

you rip me down and fell the

branches i’ve been building up around me til i think i’m gonna cry

not because it hurts it’s just been so damn long since i could see the sky

and here’s the part where i’m supposed to play it cool

wont be the first time i’m accused of sayin way too much…

but i don’t wanna be your burden, i don’t wanna weigh you down

i don’t wanna make you hurt, i just wanna stay around

i don’t wanna turn you on, this aint no start but it aint no end

i don’t wanna be your promise, i just wanna be your friend

You’ve split me spine to page

i smile so wide the strangest

ways i can’t believe you’d open up your complicated life to me

but lately i’ve been so afraid you’ll change your mind

and wake up one day thinking i’ve become too close for comfort

you’re a road i never cleared a path for

it’s safe to say you made your own way over

you’re a gift i’d never dare to ask for

i’m just askin you to stay

cuz i don’t wanna be your burden, i don’t wanna weigh you down

i don’t wanna make you hurt, i just wanna stay around

i don’t wanna turn you on, this aint no start, no happy end

i don’t wanna be your promise, i just wanna be your friend
