I always wanted a million friends

So it would never matter if someone didn’t show

There would always be someone there

Now that I’ve had a million friends

I see that the only ones there are still

The true blue ones

They may not be glamorous

They may not have money to go out all the time

Or always have the extra time

But when it counts you know they are only a phone call away

You know they won’t ditch you to go out drinking

When you just need someone to be near

They know you’ll fuck up sometimes

Because they do it too

In the end they’ll be the ones standing at your grave

Missing you

Talking about how amazing you were

Their the ones who will always remember your birthday

And how much fun you had that one time at that one place

They won’t stop talking to you because they got a new boyfriend

Or break off plans because their other friends are doing something better

They drag you out when your down

And remind you who you are when you get too high and mighty

They sit with you while your sister goes into labor

And automatically declare it their family

Sure sometimes you hate them for being right

And you know they’ll always say I told you so

But every time you cry over some idiot

They’ll be there with booze and movies to make you forget

These are the friends we, I

Take for granted

The ones we don’t call for weeks at a time because our new friends are more exciting

These are the friends that you have to treat like the most precious thing on Earth

These are the friends that you don’t want to lose

Only to realize you’ll never have that again

Know what you have before its gone

Because these friends are worth more than all the money in the world
