I thought I could trust you, I believed you were my friend,
But I was stupid for thinking; our friendship wouldn’t end.
We became closer, and I trusted you more,
I told you things, I’d told no one before,
I poured out my soul and I gave you my heart,
Little did I know you would tear it apart,
You thought I’d forgive you, but you were wrong,
You let me down, because you weren’t strong,
You were afraid, to stand up and say, No
She’s my friend; leave her alone!
Instead you sat back, watching my pain,
Knowing I needed you, I was going insane.
I was broken inside, hurting and scared,
Only you knew, but you never cared!
You were more worried about what the bully would say,
If you were friends with me; as I fought against her ways.
You knew she wouldn’t like it, because she didn’t like me,
So you were plain nasty and chose not to see,
How much worse you were making me feel inside,
My emotions were on a roller coaster ride!
One minute I was happy, the next I was sad,
But most of the time I felt pretty bad.
I was in such a state I wanted to die,
I wanted to end my goddamned life!
But then there were people, who made me see,
If you didn’t care, you shouldn’t matter to me,
And I guess they were right, that’s what friends are for,
Caring for you out of kindness when you feel poor.
But I’ve learnt my lesson; I’ve made my mistake,
People like you just take take take,
You think your perfect, you give nothing back,
You seem so blind to all the qualities you lack,
You showed me your colours, you lack quite a few
So many in fact, that I feel sorry for you.
One day you’ll have no one, you’ll have driven them away
You’ll hurt them and eventually no one will stay.
But if there’s something you’ve taught me, if there’s something I’ve learnt,
It’s that life is worth living and happiness is earnt!
