Friend?
Screaming, shaking running.
I try to hide.
But it always fails.
You shove your life down my throat.
It seems that you never care.
Someday, somewhere I know there is someone waiting for me.
Who he is, I guess that will be a mystery.
I want to be free, I want to love.
I want to be something you never were.
A friend.
