...so this isn't my best, and it's a bit ranty(!) but I wrote it a while back when I was still smarting!

Caught up in the hype

You believe your own shite

What more can I say?

You've taken your time

But one at a time

You've pushed us away

Pushed us to the brink

You don't like what we think.

But you're going nuts...

'There's a woman, Dr Zeva

Has cured AIDS in Geneva!'

What the fuck?!

And, 'If you eat healthily

You can cure epilepsy'

Oh, how I wish!

'Stop wallowing in self-pity'

'You're just being silly'

You've no idea...

So I tried to pretend

Laughed it off, as a friend

Would at first

But perhaps I was wrong

To ignore all along

Cos you got worse

Thought that things would work out

And on your own account

You'd get better

Then that one fateful day

You just flipped, went crazy

Sent me a letter

Full of such pent up anger

Sounded just like a stranger

I was stunned.

How could it be all along

You have had me so wrong?

It said, we're done.

I was the one who stood by

As they all left your side

And you write ME out?

So now you've got no one left

Cos we've all failed your test

I want to scream...

You said we all bring you down

For fucks sake, you're such a clown!

Or are you just too proud?

To say, that you're sorry

When you know we're all worried...

...can't help you now :-(
