I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen
I made him on the table in the dim
I gave him my old cellphone for ahead, for ahead
And we spent holidays at my house and we left
Presents in the stocking and we bought
Bolton things and new 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 and 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 along, all along
Next to him an empty glass of water that he spilled
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 knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
I built a friend.
