「友達」tomodachi; friend
Hello there the angel from my nightmare
Here's to you whom I confessed my feelings bare
Never in a million light-years did I expect you to care
Either way I'm telling the truth like we're playing truth or dare
It was freshman year when you first shot my heart
Straight through it like hitting the bullseye on a dart
Thought that you were a masterpiece, a work of art
Shame on me 'cause now my love-life has to restart
Words I never said are made transparent
I liked how you are Dean's-List-intelligent
Your face was my type and you're not once belligerent
I was also attracted at the way you're eloquent
She's got everything that I have to live without
Lost myself in a seemingly endless, exhausting mental bout
Shouldn't have believed the preposterous things you spout
Who's going to be held responsible for this drought?
Megurine Luka's "Just Be Friends" was your favourite tune
Those lyrics were engraved in my veins like an ancient rune
The melancholy beneath it all was enough to make me swoon
Oblivious to the fact that there would be cases of abrupt typhoon
You gave me hope by fooling me twice
Guess who lost at the game of dice
Stuck with the self-questioning of whys
Losing the battle of love has its price
This is not me being bitter
My flame for you is a died down ember
These words will serve as an altar
Reminding me of why I'm wearing a loveproof armour
Just one thing, I am being hell-bent
There's nothing left to make amend
She's godsend so don't think I'm here to offend
In respect to your lover who is my precious friend
