Lyrics Friend - Alicia Witt

Friend

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
