I'm afraid of making a friend
Cause friendships would surely come to an end
They say they won't forget about you forever
Yet one day when you pass by each other
A glance at you, they won't even bother

I'm afraid of making a friend
When help they need I'm always here to lend
Yet when I'm screaming for their name
They won't even do the same
I glance at our broken picture frame

I'm afraid of making a friend
Experienced countless lies and bitter ends
Seeing someone you used to know
Not being able to greet a simple hello
Were our memories so easy to throw?
