Asking for a Friend - JJ Heller

What do you do when

Every morning

The first thing you think is

You just want to stay in bed?

I’m just asking for a friend

What do you say when

All of your feelings

Are so overwhelming

That you’re too tired to pretend?

I’m just asking for a friend

Maybe you’re thinking she sounds like a mess

But trust me when I say she’s doing her best

Doing her best

We all need, we all need the same thing

Someone to let us in

We all need, we all need a safe place

We don’t have to defend

I’m not asking for all the pain in all the world to end

I’m just asking for a friend

How do you come back

From losing all you have

When you’re so afraid that

You’ll just lose it all again?

I’m just asking for a friend

Maybe you don’t know the right thing to say

But trust me what she needs is someone to stay

Someone to stay

We all need, we all need the same thing

Someone to let us in

We all need, we all need a safe place

We don’t have to defend

I’m not asking for all the pain in all the world to end

I’m just asking for a friend

I’ve been looking for connection but I don’t know where I fit in

I’m still afraid of rejection but I’m ready to begin

'Cause I could really use a friend

I’m just asking for a friend

We all need, we all need the same thing

Someone to let us in

We all need, we all need a safe place

We don’t have to defend

I’m not asking for all the pain in all the world to end

I’m just asking for a friend

I’m just asking for a friend
