"Bad Friend" lyrics

"Bad Friend"

Though I can't promise you
Every hour of every day
I need to feed the kids
And take them to the park to play
They say it's impossible
To be everything to everyone
All I can say is that
I'll have your back for your panic attacks

And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I've been a really bad slack friend
Just know I'm well meaning
And I'll be there at the end
Oh yes, I'm a bad friend
But maybe bad friends are still friends
Just know you're a good friend
And that I'll be there at the end

Though it's a struggle when
You can't take everyone away
On a caravan holiday
To the western edge of Wales
Just know it was raining
And the beer was warm and the chips were wet
And you were missed a lot
And we took selfies in your name

And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I've been a really bad slack friend
Just know I'm well meaning
And I'll be there at the end
Oh yes, I'm a bad friend
But maybe bad friends are still friends
And better than an enemy
And I will be there at the end

All those good times that we shared upon the road
All those struggles disappear
All those troubles in the world in relief
Given friendship, never shiver

You know I'm as reliable
As asking a seal to deliver the post
Or a random Pokémon
To remember the number of your phone
And though I'm a bad friend
Yes, I'm a really, really bad friend
Just know I'm well meaning
And I'm still here at the end
