Friend-Making

My parents really love me,

I know this for a fact,

But whenever they say \"I love you\",

I just smile and nod my head.

They really do love me,

We\'re as close as anything can be,

But sometimes their actions just don\'t follow their words,

And I\'m just left alone and confused.

I know that they will always be there; right there and glued to my side,

But sometimes they just don\'t know,

What\'s it\'s like to be me

Alone and down in the dumps.

They will never understand \'cause they always had friends,

Ones they could always count on.

But I am just different. Different and alone,

Something they\'ll never understand.

They think that friend-making\'s easy,

As easy as counting to 10,

But they never had that problem,

So why should they know?

What it\'s like without any other friends.
