lyrics

Can you hear me? Listen brother
I just need a friend
I don’t want to come on strong but this is who I am.

Verse 1
Sometimes I feel I’m losing my mind
I may be intense or out of line
If you hear me sounding crazy?
I don’t want to frighten you or anyone away
I only want to tell you – listen to me say
Chorus
I – I just need a friend who’ll hear and
Take some time to understand me
Without being my judge and jury
You might think I’m going crazy but you don’t say it
Thank you
Thank you
I don’t want to come on strong but this is where I am.
Verse 2
Sometimes I know I’m out of control
One minute I’m laughing then baring my soul
Can you hear me? Please hear me!
I don’t want to worry you or scare you away
I only want to reach you – and hold on
Chorus 2
I – I just need a friend who’ll hear and
Take some time to understand me
Without being my judge and jury
And oh – Whichever way this ends I thank you
If there’s some way to reassure you
I don’t mean to put upon you
You might think I’m going crazy but you don’t say it
Thank you
Thank you
Outro
Sometimes – I’m losing it. Sometimes – I’m laughing
Sometimes – I’m out of control – Always - I miss my old life

Can you hear me? Listen sister
I just need a friend
I don’t want to come on strong but please, please hold my hand
Can you hear me? Listen brother
I just need a friend
I don’t want to come on strong but this is where I am
