 I built a friend - Alec Benjamin

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

Ad 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 with a note 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 I made 

It fizzled and it popped and then it killed 

And then it killed


And we had so muvh fun together 

We thought we´d be friends forever

Ad we had so much fun together

We had so much fun 


I built a friend
