[Lyric] A Friend To Rely On (Bellows)

I pour myself a glass of water
Then another cup for my boy downstairs
I looked around at the bar room faces
I couldn’t find you in any of them

I wrote a song to get your attention
A petty poem with a bitter bent
It wasn’t meant to attack your values
It was just asking why you are not here

I wasn’t looking for a shoulder to cry on
I was looking for a friend to rely on
I was looking for a friend to rely on
I was looking for a friend

Years from the crack, the original distance
Was it a cliff that I drove us to?
Out at the edge, and we peer down blankly
But you don’t react
So I grab you and throw us both off
I wasn’t looking for a death on a hilltop
I was looking for a friend I could talk with
Just somewhere that I could go with a problem
I was looking for a friend
But I couldn’t trust any of them

I wasn’t looking for a shoulder to cry on
I was looking for a friend to rely on
I was looking for a friend to rely on
I was looking for a friend
