Would You Be My Friend?

If I fell into confusion
Got scared but couldn't say
If I lost my rhyme and reason
Threw away the gift of grace
Would you be my friend?

If they said I don't deserve you
That my credit was no good
If they told you I'm not worthy of your love
You should cut me
Like you cut dead wood
Would you be my friend?
Would you be my friend?

And if you heard that I was on the town
Pissing loudly on your name
Would you find me?
Would you face me down?
Though your ears burn with shame
Would you be my friend?
Would you be my friend?
Would you be my friend?

And if I said I wished I'd never been born
And my mouth could only curse
And if I passed the point of no return
Like a poor, puking child in church
Would you be my friend?
Would you be my friend?
Would you be my friend?
My only friend

My only friend
My only friend
My only friend
My only friend
