Imaginary Friend

Loneliness get's under my skin, 

crawls around,

comes out again.

And something new is born.

Combine my heart

with a lonesome ache

and a new heart starts.

And something new is born.

It starts with talking out loud

and a voice answers unexpectedly

"I never thought you'd talk to me!"

And something new is born.

It shares my joy and love and pain,

it knows how to listen and comfort;

it keeps my heart dry when it's caught in the rain.

And something new is born.

I gave it a name and I gave it a home. 

I brought it to life through my pain;

and with him by my side I'm never alone.

For someone new has been born.
