All I’ve ever tried is to be a decent friend
I treat people the way I want to be treated
I want to be there when they need me
And leave them when they don’t
I want them to be the best they can be
I want to show them good ole dependable me
If you need to talk we can talk till dawn
If you need a hug my arms are always there
If you needed some money if I can help I will
If there’s a problem change my plans I will
I tried to listen without being judgemental – however hard it may be
But most of all I prove what a good friend I can be.
So why when I ask I’m left all alone
No family, friends or even foe
Am I so strong you guys cant see
The help and support I occasionally need
I’ve surrounded myself with people I thought cared
But when I serve no purpose there’s no one there
No one to check that I’m ok
No one to check that I’ll get through the day
No one to check I can afford to eat
No one to check the support I need
No one to understand what I did
No one to provide the loyalty I did
I don’t understand what I’m doing so wrong
A hug and a kiss is all that I long
Do I make people think I am so strong
That loving me would be all wrong
Let me tell you once and for all
Please care for me too is my call
