As tears prickled down my eyes.
I couldn't believe I was facing the one that made me cry.
She stabbed me in the heart so tight,
It felt like the prick of a knife.
After all the good I've done, I received none.
After all the pain that made me insane, I think its lame so take the pain.
The lame pain is the reason eyes rain.
The true friendship that I thought was real
Turned out to be a deal.
The deal that changed my hope.
The deal that broke me up.
The friendship I had with her was broken,
For a bunch of duds.
Why did it have to be this way?
Couldn't we have fixed it on the way?
