Fake Friends and Real Lies

I guess it takes a stab in the back and a punch in the face
Before you realize who your true friends are.
Maybe they're there, and maybe you're alone,
But either way you end up torn open and marred.

You'll find secrets are such a cruel thing to keep,
You'll find yourself left out, end up the one they forget.
Still you'll give away gifts with that smile plastered on your face
And in your mind as you hand it over will be, "That's more than I'll ever get."

I laugh at the fact she's loosing all her friends,
And I laugh at the fact that your heart's come unstiched.
Never thought it'd happen, did you? Life never goes the way you want it to.
I guess you're right -karma's a bitch.

Promises mean nothing, and all that's left is the ashes of who you were.
We enjoy kicking and screaming in them, but we don't enjoy who you've become.
Stand up straight, girl, gotta keep that grin in place.
You can't let the world know you've finally come undone.

We've realized it takes a stab in the back and a punch in the face
Before we realize who our true friends are.
Just promise you won't ever look back with that sad look in your eyes,
And promise you won't leave behind another scar.

Go ahead, let yourself break down again, try to cut the madness away.
But remember the whole world will see you've lost your place.
Your time is up, and they're starting to see you turning around.
Stand up straight, girl, gotta keep that smile on your face.

You'll turn the page again, or you'll start another book
As you leave another friend behind in your wake.
Insanity is when you believe your lies to be real,
And when you realize all your friends are fake.
