[Intro] I just want someone to stay… Is that too much to say? [Verse 1] I walk alone in crowded halls Smiling at shadows on my walls I talk, but no one really hears Been holding in my heart for years [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a thousand faces Just one soul in all these places [Chorus – Big & Bittersweet] I want a friend—just one, that’s all Someone to catch me when I fall A voice that calls me by my name Who loves me without playing games A brother, a sister, a heart that won’t bend I want a friend… I want a friend [Verse 2] No siblings, no shoulder near Just quiet nights and silent tears I’m not loud, but I’ve got love Waiting for someone to show up [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the world to know me Just one heart that won’t outgrow me [Chorus – Bigger] I want a friend—not just a name Someone who stays, not just for fame A comrade, a shelter, someone who sees The real, quiet version of me Please let it end With a friend… I want a friend [Bridge – Lift Vocals Emotionally] If you’re out there, I’m still here Waving softly through my fear I’ll be quiet, I’ll be true But I’ll give the world if it’s for you [Final Chorus – Strong Vocals + Harmonies] I want a friend—someone to stay Who won’t just turn and walk away A brother, a sister, a soul to defend A love with no start and no end Please let it end With a friend… I want a friend [Outro – Fade Out Whisper] Just one. A friend.
