about

This is the central argument for curbing negative self-talk. If you wouldn't speak cruelly to a friend, why direct cruelty at yourself? Mindfulness of this tendency is a step toward self-compassion.

lyrics

Verse 1:
You'd never talk to a friend this way
So why'd you say that to yourself?
I've seen you giving yourself hell all day
What do you think that's gonna help?

Chorus:
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for you

Verse 2:
You'd never beat up on a friend that way
So why are you beating yourself up?
I've seen you tearing yourself down all day
When will this torture be enough?

Chorus:
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for you

Bridge:
I've always had your back
Even when the odds were stacked
This time  I need to count on you
To learn to have your back too

Verse 3:
You'd never give up on a friend this way
So why would you give up on yourself?
I'm in this with you baby come what may
What can I do to give you help?

Chorus:
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for a friend
I'm asking for you
