My friend is a flirt
And I'm the next on his list

Leave my heart be
It's not to be played with

But you didn't listen
And convinced me otherwise

A friend with benefits
That's all I ever was

I settled for less
When I deserved more

You were a gentleman in private
And a jerk in public

You'd be nice today
And awfully rude the next

You used to call me names
But still I held unto you

I trusted you,
I trusted my friend not to break my heart

You said there was no other girl
And I believed you

But you drew on her hand
You used to draw on mine

You told her you liked her
I thought I was the one you liked

But I couldn't even get mad
Because you weren't officially mine

You'd even ignore me sometimes,
I felt like a rag

Everytime something got spilt
You needed me to clean it up

And when there was nothing
I was tossed in a corner

Still I wished I was the only rag
But they were others

How are we supposed to go back to being just great friends?
When I know this a game that you play
When I know this is how the hearts of others are bleeding

I'm glad we hardly see each other anymore
The distance is the perfect excuse
To get you out of my SYSTEM!

Cause I don't know what we are
And it's clear you've been playing me.

Your heart is a garden
Don't let it get damaged
