I Built a Friend lyrics

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

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 split, 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
