Friend
Jordan Dean Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Both looking for the right way
What comes out of my mouth
Doesn't always seem to be the right thing
I'll say something stupid
And I know I fucked up again
But coming from me
Would you expect any different
Cos I don't wanna let you down
No I don't wanna let you down
Cos I still want you around
Yeah I still want you around
I know I'm not good at this kind of stuff
Please don't hold that against me
Oh I'm trying not to do too much
But I don't wanna force it either
I'll say something stupid
And I know I fucked up again
But coming from me
Would you expect any different
Cos I don't wanna let you down
No I don't wanna let you down
Cos I still want you around
Yeah I still want you around
If it all falls to the ground
I don't want this to be out bitter end
But if it stays right where it is love
Just know that all I need right now's a friend
