Torment

You keep tellin' me
How great I am

That you're glad we're friends
But I need more

I need you by my side
Day and night

To feel the warmth of your skin
Laying next to mine

But you say you can't lose me
That I'm the friend you need

And a friend indeed
I am to you

But I can't be
Just another shoulder to cry on
The guy you lean on
When your heart breaks
Why can't you see
That we're meant to be

They say that nice guys finish last
That assholes get the girls like you

And I'm tired of being on the sidelines
It's time for a change in my life

I'll become the enemy
The one that knocks you on your knees

So don't come crying to me
About who I used to be

Because you never let that guy in

And I can't be
Just another shoulder to cry on
The guy you leaned on
When your heart broke
Why couldn't you see
That we were meant to be

And now you say you've lost me
What happened to the guy I used to be

Who's gonna be the friend to calm you now

And now my eyes turn cynical
Your head is so damn trivial

I've been everything you wanted me to be
Why must you torment me

Because I was
The shoulder you cried on
The one you leaned on
After I broke your heart
Please tell me
You can see
What you've done to me
