Lyrics Friend Like Me - Al Jacobi

10 years I've been sober
10 years since most of my so-called friends have asked me over
10 years packed with things to toast to
But no one to toast with
I suppose if all it takes is just a can of soda
To make em bottle the relation and what plans involve ya
Maybe the substance that relates ya just ain't that you hoped for
Cause my oasis is not a champagne supernova
And I don't wanna look back in anger cause I never had my closure
And so I guess it's just too bad
And you're best off accepting that you're destined to lose track
With everyone you ever thought you had a true connection to
When you're not letting it loose on the regular
Nor included in the Messenger group chat
On my friend list ain't a friend left to dispute that
And that's the message when I text em, where my dudes at?
For all my efforts I just get an excuse back
Why I'm so apologetic, you ask

I don't blame nobody for these nights I spend alone
I'm there for everyone around me, but I get it, that's no fun
Now watch me come up with excuses for everybody else
Cause I don't blame nobody, nobody, nobody but myself

When I dwell in jealousy
When I need a friend indeed
When I have myself the least
That's when I wish I need a friend like me

I get it, I get it, I don't fit this type of vibe
I accept that things are different, I'm not trynna start a fight
But do you know what it's like
To never have plans on a Saturday night
Cause I do
And it's too wishful thinking any instant that somebody would write
Just to check in, just to mention that I'm free to drop by
Cause you don't know what it's like
To watch all your friends have the time of their life
Without you
I do still fantasise bout unbreakable ties
Bound to identify by folks I barely recognise
Cause whoever I rely on only lie to me now
The true reason why I find someone and surmise they'll let me down
Sometimes I choose to laugh about it, only to protect my pride
A few times I've badmouthed them, hoping you would pick my side
I drew lines, but who was I ever trying to clown
You know I'd break my own spine, if they would let me back around
You say the same I've said about em, better watch your fucking mouth

I don't blame nobody for these nights I spend alone
I'm there for everyone around me, but I get it, that's no fun
Now watch me come up with excuses for everybody else
Cause I don't blame nobody, nobody, nobody but myself

Why would I cry over them
I'm not the one who lost a true friend
We were supposed to go till the end
And now I'm the one who can't start again
But why would I cry over them
I'm the only one who ever fought for this thing
I don't suppose you know where they went
Cause where were they last time, and who was there then?

Nobody
Nobody
Nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody but myself

When I dwell in jealousy
When I need a friend indeed
When I have myself the least
That's when I need a friend like me
