It's Not Easy To Be Your Friend

by Henry Bateman

/
1.
I don’t claim to understand and I will help you any way I can But you’re an ocean and I’m on the sand losing strength in the weight of your tide Sometimes I make you laugh and I notice you recover too fast See him pulling up your mask and the water freeze in your eye It’s not easy to be your friend It’s not easy to be your friend When all you do is pirouette It’s not easy to be your friend You phone me up and you’re in a trench You’re full of fire but no defence Nothing you say makes any sense and you don’t hear a word I say You’ve turned 180 degrees You're all claws and bared teeth You don’t give a shit about me and I’m sorry but I’m no saint It’s not easy to be your friend (to be your friend) It’s not easy to be your friend (to be your friend) When all you do is pirouette It’s not easy to be your friend Being this close to you It’s like trying to catch a tiny bird in my hands This close to you It’s like trying to find the words to define who I am This close to you It’s like living life with no plans Just waiting for your command It’s not easy to be your friend, no (to be your friend) It’s not easy to be your friend (to be your friend) When all you do is pirouette It’s not easy to be your friend
