For me, years of friendship come with years of betrayal
I've longed for a connection that I knew would never break
So when they show me kindness, I made sure to deserve it
You got, "hey! Wanna go shopping?"
I got, "hey can i vent?"
I couldn't say no
I can't disappoint
What am I if not useful to them
My health is declining, but it's all about them
They say that they care
They ask how have you been
They listen and yawn
"Can you repeat that again?"
Another day goes by
I sit in the background
They talk to each other
I wish they'd talk to me
I'm just being selfish
This isn't about me
This is about them
And what matters is that they're happy
