Never thought

Never thought I need a friend

Never be alone again

I will be there

Thought it was just pretend 

My will perserveres

Not that you are just a friend

I told you years ago

That I only wish you the best

And I don't expect nothing in return from you.

I eased your mind 

And made it easy for you

If my name was Benjamin 

You would care for me

Frankly I don't give a damn

It's not easy to merely be me

But no risk

No glory

I will succeed 

You won't succeed in hanging clouds over me.

Back in time on the rooftop

And a guitar pick for a while

I revealed my heart to you

And we'd sit for a while

There are other guys for me to see

And now you must go peacefully 

I've spent so much time on you

And now I don't wish I was dead

There is a certainty to my words

This is plain to see

You can't expect me to sit still

That is just absurd.

And I don't need your words

I've been so patient

I've been ever waiting

Contemplating your every action

My soul's reaction is to just reject everybody

Maybe it's withdrawl

Maybe depression or my faith in me

A butterfly came to see me

And you can leave.

Never thought I need a friend

Never be alone again

I will be there

Thought it was just pretend 

My will perserveres.
