[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
I built a friendA with three pieces of plastic and a penF#m,
I made him on the table in the denD,
I gave him my old cellphone for a headA,
For a headE.
And we Aspent holidays in my house,
And we lF#meft presents in the stocking,
And we bouDght bolts and things and strings and a new watchA,
That's what he gotE.
[Chorus]
DAnd we had so much fun together,
AWe knew we'd be Efriends forever.
DAnd we had so much fun together,
Awe had so much funE.
[Verse 2]
Then I lAeft for college in September
And we wF#mept cause we can't be together
So I kDept pictures to remember my old friend,A
My old friEend.
Then I mAet this girl at graduation
And forgF#met my oldest creation
And I gDuess I'll see him next vacation
Send my Abest, I send my Ebest
[Chorus]
DAnd we had so much fun together,
AWe knew we'd be Efriends forever.
DAnd we had so much fun together,
Awe had so much funE.
[Verse 3]
I came homAe to find him on the table with a nF#mote
Scribbled out in pencil and he wrDote
That he just wasn't stable all aloAne,
All aloEne.
Next to hiAm, an empty glass of water that he spillF#med
All over the body that I bDuilt,
It fizzled and it popped and then it kAilled,
And then it kilEled.
[Chorus]
DAnd we had so much fun together,
AWe thought we'd Ebe friends forever.
DAnd we had so much fun together,
Awe had so much funE.
I built a fAriend.
