[@loredanapace8]

HOW DOES HE GET HIS VOICE THAT HIGH AND SOFT, LIKE OMG

[@kisscatastrophe]

HeyItsDana//loredanapace8 undecended testicles he reminds me of the castratos of the 1800's. it's the only medical thing that makes sense. his talking register lowered but his singing voice is still childlike. very much a hormone/undecension issue.

[@CarrieJohnson23]

Alec Benjamin I love you. 😂😂

[@loredanapace8]

Jayzlee Gaming Ohhh Lmaoo

[@havensadams3779]

Alec Benjamin 😂😂

[@neyssa6632]

Alec Benjamin 😂😂😂😂😂😂 love yah!

[@powerface71]

I am 46, married with two sons 23 & 24 years old, both left the nest already. I became very sick and am now alone 90% of the time as my Wife works in corporate America. This song and the focus on loneliness is what resonates with me. I was a competitive Hockey player and a guitarist for 33 years until this disease took everything from me. My Sons rarely visit and my Wife is always at work, I feel the Robot's pain, I understand it. This song and his voice make me weep every time I hear this song.

[@naomirobertson5041]

Thaydrian hope you’re doing good!

[@nightswift1488]

:( we love you

[@lovelysam_]

I wish you the best in the future!

[@jackattackwhitten1579]

[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

[@CarrieJohnson23]

Hannah Morris I agree but it is a very busy park in L.A. Alec was shocked we were there cause we live in Chicago but we happened to be there on vacation & had to see him.
