V

I got a friend I don't wanna know


Shhdon't talkdon't make a sound


She shows up when the room goes still

Sits in silence, tryna break my will

Talks soft like she's my savin' grace

Tells me I'm just a waste of space

Her voice felt like peace at first

Then shows me what I'm worth


You're not worth anything


Yeah depression

Guess I'll call you my friend

You've been here longer than anyone's been

You don't ever leave

Don't ever let me breathe

Got your hands grippin' my throat

Lookin' in my eyes, smilin' as I choke


I got a friend I don't wanna know

Tried to forget her, she won't let go

With friends like you I don't need enemies

You've burned down every good part of me

I keep reachin for air, but you push me down

Sayin' you love me while watchin' me drown

You're not someone I ever chose

So please let me go


Never never never never


Her voice is soft as velvet but as cold as sin

She's always there sayin' "Just relax and let me in"

She feeds me lies like they're truth

Sayin' this is all I'll ever do

She knows every scar I hide

Every place that's died inside

Uses it to bend my will

Sayin' "You'll never be anything

Never could, never will

Don't get up just stay right there

Ain't no point in going anywhere"


Just stay with me you're safe here


Yeah depression

You sit there talkin' like a friend

But you ain't ever had my back

Not now, and not then

And every time I get the courage to go

You drag me kickin' n screamin' back in


I got a friend I don't wanna know

Tried to forget her, she won't let go

With friends like you I don't need enemies

You've burned down every good part of me

I keep reachin for air, but you push me down

Sayin' you love me while watchin' me drown

You're not someone I ever chose

So please let me go


Never never


I try to fight it

But man I'm so tired


Give up, give in, you won't have to fight again


I hear you


I got a friend I don't wanna know

Tried to forget her, she won't let go

With friends like you I don't need enemies

You've burned down every good part of me

I keep reachin for air, but you push me down

Sayin' you love me while watchin' me drown

You're not someone I ever chose

So please let me go


You can't goYou can't go


I got a friend I don't wanna know


You need me

I'll never let you go


But I don't want you

Please let me go
