Best Friend

Nothing like your best Friend making you better  
 
I miss a string I can’t sing but you  
 
Offer no comfort say I can’t sing at your bar
 
I’m dragon in my thoughts you say I can’t sing to you  
 
Drop the demon within me and go back to work
 
Callouses on fingers warm up my throat  
 
Strum in the stillness when I’m not moving  
 
Puppet on TV saying clap for me
 
Put it on mute pick up the instrument  
 
Sitting on stool playing for myself  
 
Maybe I can play Here Comes the Sun to free me
 
I can’t play as well as I want but I’m putting in
 
10000 hours,blisters on my skin, but you  
 
Don’t know I’m playing for me  
 
Wake up stretch out my
Memory
 
So I can just play beautiful in my head
 
So I’m not beautiful but I’m  
 
The beauty that is within me
