Your New Best Friend

He will be your new best friend
He needs you there for him
You will be such a good friend to him
That you will disregard me for him

I'm setting you free
Leaving you alone in your bed
You need to invite him in
Taste him – you really need him

To me, he is a selfish man
To you, he is your new best friend
I cannot compete with the time
Or the bond that you both share

No matter how much a friend he is
You need more
You need to let him in and make him yours
Maybe then you can think of him while he's near

I'm leaving a piece of me with you
Because when he hurts you
You're going to need a new friend
And maybe then you'll let me in.
