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 cell phone for a head
For a head
And we spent
Holidays at my house
And we left
Presents in a stocking
And we bought
Bolts and things and strings
And a new watch
That's what he got
We had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
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
We had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
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 spilt
All over that body that I built
It fizzled and it popped
And then it killed
And then it killed
We had so much fun together
We thought we'd be friends forever
We had so much fun together
We had so much fun
I built a friend
