we never really spoke after that day
you never really wanted to hear what i had to say
explanation, excuses, even the truth
they all meant not a damn thing to you
you said you would always listen and be there
and you would always care
but when i truly needed you to hold me
you were nowhere to be seen
you don't understand how i felt
when i said those things, it hurt like hell
i lied and screamed some stupid words
because my damnable pride was hurt
and what you said back to me
was the truth, you spoke honestly
i said you'd regret me and you swore you wouldn't
i should have left but i couldn't
was i really that bad, that now we can't talk
we were bestfreinds, but you said i didnt matter at all
I had loved you, given you everything
but all because of some rumor you walked away from me
i couldn't lie, because it was true
I was convinced she would agaun hurt you
but you refused to believe me, but believed in a whore
but that's okay, you had your heart broken once more
I'm sad to say I knew this would happen again
but still you wont call me a friend
forget understanding and forgivness
Why am I writing this, you dont deserve it
I trusted you and let you in
and its a mistake I'll never make again
Author notes
I am so sick of him, I can't believe I ever loved him. I deserve more.
