I Built a Friend

I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen
I made him on the table in the den
I gave him my old cellphone for a head
For a head

And we spent holidays in my house
And we left presents in the stocking
And we bought bolts and things and strings and a new watch
That's what he got

And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun

Then I left for college in september
And we wept cause we can't be together
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend
My old friend

Then I met this girl at graduation
And forget my oldest creation
And I guess I'll see him next vacation
Send my best, I send my best

And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun

I came home to find him on the table with a note
Scribbled out in pencil and he wrote
That he just wasn't stable all alone
All alone

Next to him, an empty glass of water that he spilled
All over the body that I built
It fizzled and it popped and then it killed
And then it killed

And we had so much fun together
We thought we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun

I built a friend
