I Built A Friend (2020)

I built a friend

With three pieces of plastic and a pen

I made him on the table in the den

I gave him my old cell phone for a head, for a head

And we spent

Holidays in my house and we left

Presents in a stocking and we bought

Bolts and things and strings and a new watch

That's what he got

And we had so much fun together

We knew we'd be friends forever

And we had so much fun together

We had so much fun

Then I left

For college in September and we wept

'Cause we can't be together so I kept

Pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend

Then I met

This girl at graduation and forget

My oldest creation and I guess

I'll see him next vacation, send my best

I send my best

And we had so much fun together

We knew we'd be friends forever

And we had so much fun together

We had so much fun

I came home

To find him on the table with a note

Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote

That he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone

Next to him

An empty glass of water that he spilled

All over the body that I built

It fizzled and it popped and then it killed

And then it killed

And we had so much fun together

We thought we'd be friends forever

And we had so much fun together

We had so much fun

I built a friend
