I've been on my own, tryin' to carry this alone
Only so much weight my back could take, I'm sinking like a stone
And now I see my face in a broken windowpane
I could use someone to help me pick up the pieces that remain

When everything is blue, ooh
All I need is you, ooh

I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend
Somebody, when the world starts cavin' in
I need a hand, I need a friend
I'm trying to remember what it's like
To be young and alive
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend

Oh, where are you now? I've been callin' to reach out
'Cause I'm only a human, going through it, my eyes rain like clouds
Would you take my call when my head's against the wall?
And would you sit me down and hear me out?
Would you call me beautiful?

I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend
Somebody, when the world starts cavin' in
I need a hand, I need a friend
I'm trying to remember what it's like
To be young and alive
I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend, oh

When everything is blue, ooh (I need a friend, I need a friend)
All I need is you, ooh (I need a friend)

I'm so close to the edge
And I need a friend, I need a friend
Somebody, when the world starts cavin' in
I need your hand, I need a friend
