Since I was a young man I've doing what I can
To escape the mental torture of my past
I have changed all my beliefs
But nothing seems to last
I need compassion, I need some patience
I need a friend

Do you want to be my friend?
Are you holding back again?
Your confessions are my sins
The war inside me has to end

Summer's fading and I am too
I wish I was somewhere else
I feel out of place
Wasting time spent by myself
Hotel rooms and solitude
And the songs left in my head
It's all I know but right now
Baby, I need a friend

Do you want to be my friend?
Are you holding back again?
Your confessions are my sins
The war inside me has to end

Do you want to be my friend?
I've been found out, I can't pretend
It won't stop 'til I begin
So do you want to be my friend?

Somebody told me today
Somebody said I might find my way to you
That I might find my way to you
That I might find my way to you
Somebody told me today
Somebody said I might find my way to you
That I might find my way to you
That I might find my way to you

Do you want to be my friend?
Are you holding back again?
Your confessions are my sins
The war inside me has to end
