When you said you were happy for us,
I knew right then you were somebody I could trust;
I treated you as one of my truest friends,
Laughed and smiled with you---
I knew you will never pretend.
When I told you about him,
I never thought there'd be a problem;
You said you'd always be there,
I never thought you just acted like you cared.
How could you hurt me so?
I wish I could just let this go...
But I cannot even begin to comprehend
How someone as close to perfect as you
Could do this to me---me, your friend.
You broke in two whatever we had,
But it's okay, I can handle that;
What I can't handle is you---
This friendship is so hard to renew.
I wish I was blind,
So that I won't see
That what you did was a crime;
I wish I was deaf
So that I won't hear
All the lies you had said yourself.
It's more hurting to know
That a friend could dare to hurt you so;
I never did anything wrong---
Why did you try to fit into the arms where I belong?
All the years that we have shared,
Were thrown away because you were so unfair;
I hate myself for hating you---
But what about this pain that you put me through?
Still I gave you love my friend,
Even more than the love I gave away for him---
That's why it's difficult to accept the fact
That you had somehow stabbed me in the back.
