Foo Fighters - Asking For A Friend Lyrics

Foo Fighters Lyrics

"Asking For A Friend"

Save your promises
Until we meet again
You can save all your promises
Till the bitter end
What is real?
I'm asking for a friend
What is real?
I'm asking for a friend
Or is this the end?

Give me a reason, show me a sign
Ugliest truth or the prettiest lie

I feel it fading away
Fading on you
Searching for something to pray
Words I can use
To lay your worry down
Lay your worry down

Save your promises
Until we meet again
You can save all your promises
Until the bitter end
What is real?
I'm asking for a friend
What is real?
I'm asking for a friend
Or is this the end?

When you're alone
Am I a part of you?
Am I a part of you?
Am I a part of you?
You're not alone
I am a part of you
I am a part of you
When I'm apart from you

I feel it wearing away
Wearing on you
Searching for something to pray
Words I can use
To lay your worry down

Save your promises
Until we meet again
You can save all your promises
Until the bitter end
What is real?
I'm asking for a friend
What is real?
I'm asking for a friend
Or is this the end?

Give me a reason, show me a sign
Ugliest truth or your prettiest lie
Free you from burden, take what I give
Take it away now, permission to live

Save your promises
Until we meet again
You can save all your promises
Until the bitter end
What is real? (Save your promises)
I'm asking for a friend
What is real? (Save all your promises)
I'm asking for a friend
Or is this the end?

Dave Grohl said about this single released on the 23rd of October, 2025, "'Asking for a Friend' is a song for those who have waited patiently in the cold, relying on hope and faith for their horizon to appear. Searching for 'proof' when hanging by a wish until the sun shines again." He also added, "One of many songs to come..." "Asking for a Friend" followed the band's stand-alone single "Today's Song" which came out in July of 2025.
