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
Thats what he got
And we had so much fun together
We knew wed 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 cant 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
Ill see him next vacation, send my best
I send my best
And we had so much fun together
We knew wed 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 wasnt 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 wed be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
I built a friend
