My Only Friend

My Only Friend Alone again Waiting on my only friend Alone again It's always been and it will always be Me against the world A struggle with my sanity My only friend is me I tell myself I'll be alright If I can make it through this lonely night I buy a drink I bum a smoke I laugh and tell myself a joke But I can't recall the punchline Alone again A conversation with my only friend Alone again I do my best but I'm poor company An actor in this world Pretending that I cannot see My only friend is me If someone smiled, I'd say hello But no one does and so I sit alone Another drink A cloud of smoke I laugh and tell myself a joke "I'm lonely" is the punchline Alone again Drinking with my oldest friend Alone again It's always been and it will always be Us against the world Grappling with our sanity My only friend is me Pretending that I do not see My only friend is me In this world and all humanity My only friend is me
