Friend

Friend (n): a person attached to another by feelings of affection

It sounds so simple
These feelings of affection
Like there’s not much to it
But isn't there?

They come into your life
You can’t help but trust them
And you never expect them to leave
But don’t they?

Friends for almost three years
But then out the door you walked
We saved each other’s lives
Didn't we?

Best friends through thick and thin
We had a rocky beginning
But then it all smoothed over
Didn't it?

One little thing happens
You don’t trust me enough to ask the truth
You go to him instead, he who hates me
Doesn't he?

These feelings of affection have been replaced with something else
We've thrown each other away
We've cut each other off
But why?

I miss telling you everything
I miss you telling me everything
Now you just tell each other everything
I've been left out of the equation

One plus one plus one minus one
It equals two if you do the math right
And I’m just that little one
Left out of your equation

But even through all of this
I’ll always be there
For both of you
But isn't that just my way?

Caring too much for the people who hurt me
They throw me away
And yet I’m still willing to help
But will they let me?

Am I just trying too much?
Will this even help?
I can't deal with anymore pain
I'm not willing to say hello if there's going to be another goodbye.
