"I ONCE HAD A FRIEND" BY: KELSEA BALLERINI, FROM THE BOOK "FEEL YOUR WAY THROUGH"

"I ONCE HAD A FRIEND"

"I ONCE HAD A FRIEND"

I ONCE HAD A FRIEND

WHO SWORE SHE HAD NONE

SOMBERLY SAYING "LONELY IS A CANCER"

BUT WHEN I'D CALL, SHE'D NEVER ANSWER

LIKE SHE FOUND COMFORT IN

BEING UNLOVABLE

WHEN REALLY BEING LOVED JUST

MAKES HER UNCOMFORTABLE

EMOTIONAL PLEXIGLAS

BUILT SKY-HIGH AROUND HER

BUT COOL GIRL ACQUAINTANCES

ALWAYS SURROUND HER

SPECTATORS GAWK

CHARMED IN AN INSTANT

BY HER SHADOW-CAST WALK

AND CANYONESQUE DISTANCE

CRYING IN GLITTER

BLANKETS THE FLOOR

OUTSIDERS DANCE

IN HER DISCO DECOR

I HOLD HUSH STORIES

CLOSE TO MY HEART

FLATTERED SHE TRUSTED

ME WITH HER ART

FOR JUST A MOMENT

I WAS CONVINCED

OUR WINE--WASHED TALKS

WEREN'T ONLY A TREND

BUT JUST LIKE THE SPRING

SISTERHOODS END

TWO STRANGERS AGAIN

I ONCE HAD A FRIEND

BY: KELSEA BALLERINI

FROM THE BOOK: FEEL YOUR WAY THROUGH
