I built A Friend (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
I built a friend
With three pieces of plastic and a pen
I made him on the table in the den
I gave him my old cell phone for a head (for a head)
And we spent holidays at my house
And we left presents in a stocking
And we bought bolts and things and strings
And a new watch, that's what he got
[Chorus]
And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
[Verse 2]
Then I left for college in September
And we wept cause we can't be together
So I kept pictures to remember my old friend, my old friend
Then I met this girl at graduation
And forget my oldest creation
And I guess I'll see him next vacation
Send my best, I send my best
[Chorus]
And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
[Bridge]
I came home to find him on the table
With a note, scribbled out in pencil
And he wrote
That he just wasn't stable all alone, all alone
Next to him, an empty glass of water
That he spilt
All over the body that I built
It fizzled and it popped
And then it killed, and then it killed
[Chorus]
And we had so much fun together
We thought we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
I built a friend

Realize how he said in the beginning "we knew *we'd* be friends forever" and in the end "we thought *we'd* be friends forever" that just brings back so many memories 💔
Yeah💔💔
same
I wish I could build a friend, a friend that I can trust, a friend that never leaves me, and a friend that will never be a memory.
Same...i'm so lonely..
@@Asmaa_311 same

You don’t have to 😁 you are all you need to live 😁 be your own friend then you can trust yourself and never leave your side
Same buddy
Imagine having friends that won’t leave you.

Nausicaa Wong I wish that would happen..
Yes just keep imagining

"We knew we'd be friends forever"

Yes... Yes it does..💔
Do you want to be friends? Friends that'll never forget?🙂🙂
@@Steven_Triana sure!

@@hellothis455 uhm

TheLittleRowlet yay!!!! Now I have friends!
Who wishes that they can make a best friend for they can be together and that's how you don't need to care for other people if they leave you behind
Me!! All the way
Hey, I can be that friend.
I'll always stay by your side and I'll never leave you!
Wanna accept my friendship?🙋💖
@@Steven_Triana I wanna be friends 🥺
@@mars3439 Aww, of course!! Do you have discord?
@@Steven_Triana no, I have Instagram and snapchat tho,, my instagram is hi_imlily_ and my snaps i_unicado
I'm a writer and listening to these types of songs always give me inspiration for the world, stories, and the characters I build and develop.
Songs like these always help with blocks to my creativity, and help me to overcome my challenges in life, to celebrate my successes and even my failures so I can grow more. Alec's songs are the most bitter sweet melodies to ever listen to, especially this one. I'm sorry if this comment is short, but Alec, even if you can't read this, from one creator, artist, and storyteller to another, thank you so much ❦
And to paradise bird, keep going, uploading, and satisfying your viewers with content like this. You are an amazing individual, love.
I used to draw imaginary friends when ever my parents argued so I had someone to vent to 😔❤
Edit: Thank you everyone for the likes and kind words xx
edit 2: wow this got a lot of love thank you 😭😭❤❤
I hope you are doing good now and found true friends ❤️
@@min3089 I have thank you they are the only people that have put a smile on my face and everything is ok now xx
I did the exact same thing too.
@@imribbit8850 aww I'm so sorry I hope things worked out and if not I hope they do soon x
I used to do the same thing! Except my parents didnt fight, they just never paid attention to me and it hurt. But I hope things are better for you!
I love this song
So soothing 😊
Can we agree that Alec Benjamin is a talented and one of the fastest songwriters with a deep meaning❤!!!
PS: thanks Paradise bird for sharing this song with us❤👍
"I built a friend"
"I buried a friend"
I don't have any friends
oh we can be bff if you want
The story of my life!
@@samanthaperkins8278 that is not how it works
Jay Godz lol
@@jaygodz2707 what ever i said maybe
this tells a story of my imaginary friends 😭
I also feel like...
"We thought we'd be friends forever" is the most heart breaking line I've ever heard.
When I hear this song I remember the kid that danced to this at Britain's or America's got talent
Same
True true
Merrick Hanna:) I think that's his name
Sanae Larocque yeah
yes,he is Merrick Hanna, he has a youtube channel , he still uploads dance videos
I wish i could build a friend that is never going to leave me....❤️🧸
I don't think you need to build a friend, rather build a friendship with someone genuine. And things might happen sooner than you think. That person will come.
Don't wait for happiness, happiness will wait for you, but don't worry you will get there
@@joeschmoe7385 🥺
@@adelez.7513 🤗
You will have it ❤️
@@joeschmoe7385 How well said dude! This is how I and I guess we all should be thinking.... So that we won't end up being depressed! 😭😭
HAPPY FRIENDSHIP DAY!
My greatest friendship ended a while ago
I build many best friends, but I always screw it up and they leave me..Alec Benjamin is my new favourite singer..!
It feels like he wrote this song about his friend that he'd lost as he move into another place. It's like they're still seeing each other but there was already a wall between them. They used to have fun together and even thought they can be friends forever but it turns out, time and distance can slowly destroyed their friendship and it actually did. Maybe this is not what the song is really about but for me it is because of the two of you.
"We all have friends, they love us. But in reality, they don't like us enough to stay forever."
-Me to my younger self 2018 - 2020
Made me cry💔💔!!
Next Monday is my gone best friend birthday...
I really likes all of his song,the way it tells a story and how pleasing his voice is in my ears
*Man, even if I made a friend, they would probably leave me the first week, or steal all of the pizza rolls.*
i’m so happy one of his originals is remastered
never been this early before
my ears have been blessed
I'm a student and in school we have like small groups of friends. And in my gang every body have a best friend, a partner,someone to go somewhere, but when we go on our aual school trip.im just left alone.i dont have a BFF a best friend, and every birthday I wish for one.i dont know why I'm tell you this .but I think it's worth it.at least I'll get heard here right?😄😍❤❤❤
❤️
♡
I love him his songs are depressing that's why I like him
Imagine me having real friends and no fakes that only know me when they need something
Of all the people of this earth not all are jerks you'll find people who genuinely care, for some it happens sooner than you think and for some it just takes time; good things will come.
Joe Schmoe is right,
And your time to find a real friend came right now @_stupid_ kai_!!
I want to be your friend! Not any friend, a real friend!
Do you want to accept my friendship??🙋💖
I buried my dog a few days ago. We had just returned from vacation a few days prior and we thought she was normal and ok. I woke up to my parents crying and seeing her on the floor, gone. I pet her one last time as my father buried her. I’ve cried every day since and can’t stop thinking about her. I miss her so much
I am so, so sorry for what happened. l know how hard it is to lose a furry friend. remember that your dog loved you, wherever he is he won't ever forget what you did for him. sending love ♡
What a beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful song 😔😔💖💖
I love it sooo so much
I love this song this just popped up and I thought oh what this
A friend that never hurt you and all ways love you
This friend really hits home, I had to move and I had to leave my best friend that I had known for most of my childhood. I called her a couple weeks later and she just wasn't the same :(
Wdym she wasn’t the same :(
@@erikavillareal2057 she didn't wanna talk to me. She wouldn't even look at me it was sad to see tbh 😔
This song makes me think of my old imaginary friend, and the stuffed animals I used to play with, and every stupid, childish, weird adventure I used to make up in my head while PBS kids played in the background on TV.
It hurts to know you can lose someone that was so close to you 🥺🥺
people loved my new addiction ❤
Wish I felt like this was real; The feeling of alone has been so real at 24. My life goal is to start a food pantry and a community center so I can bring people together ❤
InshaAllah (if God wills) it will happen. Don't give up
now i wonder how having friends would be...
and not being replaced or backstabbed-
Every time I listen this song I start bawling 😭
That's a masterpiece♥️♥️
I hope i can be good friend and i hope the one who's reading this is doing fine,if not i hope ur trying to be fine,have a good day.
Love this!!💜✨
Love this song!!! Can’t wait for more
But can we appreciate how amazing this song is and also the singer is just wow!!!!
I have been searching this for a long time, thank god I found this now! I will always remember you, Ifan. Thank you for being a good friend of mine back then, I hope you're in a good place.
I love how with all of his songs they all tell a story
I love the art as always PB!

I eagerly wanna get him back😓 . But he died in a car accident when he was abroad I didn't even get a chance to see him and hug . When he passed away there are 7 days remained for his b'day . I wish to get him a wonderful b'day in heaven 💖

@@asmasaeed7656 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
KLA1MAR ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This channel has such good content omg
The lyrics itself and the way he sings .. Ahh... It's feel like next level utopia! ♥️
God this reminds me of my childhood I used to imagine I was in crazy situations and that I had friends I got made fun off for "talking to the air" but it helped me cope because I was terrified of people I always have been. I'm terrified of getting hurt but I think I'm learning how to keep friends it's not easy but I at least have some people around me now.
this hit hard and i actually started crying
This song nearly brings tears to my eyes tho
I built a friend
2017: Doesn't sound like he's abt to cry
2020: He sounds like he's abt to cry 😭
This the best thing happened to me today this is beyond beautiful
All my friends are dead, pushed me too the edge
Fantastic
This made me cry
i love this song :)
imagine having real friends
I cry everytime I hear this. But it has a message for me.
Love thes one

Finally he posts this
the friend that always walks in the grass when the group is walking on a sidewalk. The friend that ''accidentally'' didnt get invited. The friend that hypes everyone else in the group but never gets a compliment if its not backhanded. The friend that was left out when the group did matching suits for Halloween. The friend that didnt come to that concert because ''there weren't enough tickets''. The friend that always takes the pictures and is never in them. Yea that ''friend'' is me. :)
❤❤❤
I SWEAR TO GOD I heard this song like 7 years ago, when did it come out??
I like this song
Aww ma heart🤧
Make me feeling calmmmm
Love
Oof this hit hard 💔
Happy friendship day
I built a friend with three pieces of plastic and a pen

And a new watch, that's what he got
And we had so much fun together
We knew we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together

We thought we'd be friends forever
And we had so much fun together
We had so much fun
I built a friend
Why did u comment the lyrics ?
Thanks for the lyrics.
Thank you
Cause the lyrics in the video are too tiny for people to see
how does it feel having a friend is it fun
Hits different when you know that Tommy’s gone.
"We had so much fun together and we thought we'd be friends forever we had so much fun together we had so much fun" ~hits different when your bf died then your best best friend kills herself
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
whoever u are, i luv u
This reminds me of my childhood, where I built a friend with a box, twenty pieces of straw, and used a sharpie. I played with it a lot. Until one day, I had to go on a vacation, and I was about to bring my "friend," until mom said that I should leave it, because we will see deers and they might eat it. A few weeks later, I forgot all about it. A few years later, I found it in my closet. I was shocked when I saw something that I completely forgot. And then, I kept on looking through, I found a picture of me hugging the toy when I was six. So right now, I still have it.
I Wish i could built friend Who would never Leave me And i would never stop Being happy with him / her btw listening to your songs at 1:06 AM ^^..
