A friend of mine she cries
And nothing I say dries her eyes
She can't seem to let me in
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
She tells me it comes and goes
And most times she stays afloat
But some nights she just drowns
(Oh, some nights, her own mind, makes her drown)
Life's not supposed to be a battle in your mind
I know you're feeling like you're running out of time
Wish that she could see what I can see
Understand what she means to me
When the nights are long, it feels like no one's there
And it feels like nobody seems to care
Look at me, look at me now
You're a friend of mine
(Friend of mine)

To the friend of mine, I try
To help her understand why
I cannot let her in
(Let me in, let me in, let me in)
Life's not supposed to be a battle of my heart
But some nights all I do is fall apart
Wish that you could feel what I feel
And understand what you mean to me
When the nights are long, it feels like no one's there
And it feels like nobody seems to care
Look at me, look at me now
You're a friend of mine
(Friend of mine)
(Friend of mine)
(Friend of mine)
When every word tears you apart
It cracks your mind
It breaks your heart
It makes you wonder why
You never ever, could've, should've listened
Look at me, look at me now
You're a friend of mine
When the nights are long, it feels like no one's there
And it feels like nobody seems to care
Look at me, look at me now
You're a friend of mine
And when everybody seems to disappear
And you are questioning what you're doing here
Look at me, look at me now
You're a friend of mine
(Friend of mine)
(Friend of mine)
(A friend of mine)
You're a friend of mine
