How are you happy?
I'm asking for a friend
Smiling and laughing, even when you're feeling bad
How do you stay clear?
I'm asking for a friend
Even when you're here, you're somewhere else instead

When every day is agony, it's hard
To find somewhere where you can still belong
Summer almost came but you left us
Things were really bad, things got pretty tough

Trouble, trouble followed you
Sadness, sadness swallowed you
Call to the dark, it was broke from the start
Love won't fix that part

How can you find sleep?
I'm asking for a friend
Quiet, still and deep, it was simpler back then
How do you stay close?
I'm asking for a friend
Stay up, sweet recall
Maybe you're better off like that

When every day is agony, it's hard
To find a place where you can still belong
Summer almost came but you left us
Things were really bad, things got pretty tough

Trouble, trouble followed you
Sadness, sadness swallowed you
Call to the dark, it was broke from the start
Love won't fix that part
Love won't fix that part

I'm asking for a friend
