Imaginary Friend Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I felt you in the morning in the kitchen
And it spooked me ’cause you weren’t there
Thought I heard you, so I stopped and really listened
You said “something, something, something,” wasn’t fair
[Chorus]
So I stop and fill the gaps, I’m sorry, but I have to ask
If you could do me just a little favor, I’ll return it later
Promise not to laugh, I talk to you, you don’t talk back
‘Cause you’re a figment of my imagination
Man, I fucking hate it
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh (Oh)
Oh, I hate it
Oh-oh, oh
(Mm)
[Verse 2]
You don’t know even half of what you’re missing
But I’m cool now if you even care
Do you remember all the shit I broke? Well, I fixed it
Kick your shoes off, go leave’ em by the stairs, but you don’t
[Chorus]
So I stop and fill the gaps, I’m sorry, but I have to ask
If you could do me just a little favor, tell me I’m no failure
I promise not to laugh, I’ve got it wrong, let’s run it back
Don’t be a figment of my imagination, but you are and I fucking hate it
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Is it me or is it so hot?
Oh, oh
Is it time to take our clothes off?
Oh, oh
And is it wrong I’m thinking this thought?
Oh, oh
[Outro]
Well, I felt you in the morning in the kitchen
But you were unaware

Song Bio of Imaginary Friend
Imaginary Friend finds Gracie Abrams talking to someone who isn’t there, and somehow it’s the most honest song on Daughter from Hell. Produced with Aaron Dessner, the track opens on a small, spooky moment in the kitchen — a presence felt, not seen — and unravels from there into something rawer: loneliness dressed up as company, a crush that only exists in her head.
Her voice stays close and unguarded, cracking just slightly on the chorus where she admits the whole thing embarrasses her. It’s Abrams at her most vulnerable, turning an imaginary conversation into a very real ache.
