lyrics

I don’t want to be your friend
I'll just carry on pretending
everything is fine and I am good

I don’t want to hold your hand
I don't want to know your plans
At the weekend
At the weekend I won't cry at all

At the weekend I'll be by
myself
And that is just fine
I am just fine
by myself
I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm alright I'm (...)

Happy you are happy now
I will not be sad or down
Only children feel negative emotions
At the weekend I won't cry
I won’t cry not like last time
Weekends spent in sadness are not productive

Who would want to be my friend
I wouldn’t want to be my friend
If I were you
Who would want to hold my hand
I wouldn't want to hold my hand
If I were you

I don't want to be your friend
I don’t want to hold your hand
I don’t want to hear you say my name
In the morning
I am just fine by myself
Everything is really fine_

I don’t want to hold your hand
I don't want to know your plans
At the weekend
At the weekend I won't cry at all
At the weekend I'll be by
myself
And that is just fine
I am just fine
by myself
