lyrics

I’m the friend
You know me
In the cast
But never the lead
In the back
A supporting role
Not the one
Whose story gets told
But I hang around till the end
I’m the friend

I’m the friend
A shoulder to cry on
And depend
To trust and rely on
You know me
So consistent
You can talk
And I’ll be there to listen
I don’t get the guy in the end
I’m the friend

I’m the friend whose pride gets swallowed
Always waiting for tomorrow
Not the one who wins the prize
Always watching from the side
Keep my feelings to myself
The focus always somewhere else
On the edges, on the fringe
On the outside looking in
Wary of the final score
But always hold out hope for more

I’m the friend
Taking the back seat
Not the one
You’re waiting to see
Overlooked
Taken for granted
Know my role
Even when I can’t stand it
When it’s all been done and said
When it’s all been done and said
When it’s all been done and said
I’m the friend
I’m the friend
I’m the friend
