Lost a friend

Its hard to think I lost a friend
Someone I thought so much of
My right hand, my partner in crime
The friend I loved to love

The lies that have surrounded her
The empty promises of more
The things that were said to her
That changed what was before

That pitiful excuse for a man
Took over, and wont let go
Telling her stories of what he can do
Saying exactly what she wants to know

She doesn't see the tricks
All the things he has done so far
Pulling her away from family
She doesn't recognize who we are

She sees me as an enemy
Were once we fought side by side
My friend, my everything
How could you believe the many lies

From the beginning you knew my thoughts
I knew what he was worth
I warned you please listen
And now things cant get any worst

When before we talked of everything
You lie and keep secrets from me
Oh, how I wish it wasn't so
That I could open your eyes to see

He wove his song of trickery
You dance to his every note
You followed when I begged you to stay
And goodbye was all you wrote

I used to write about lasting friendship
Of the one I could always count on
I used to know you were strong for us
Now I'm sad to say that I was wrong

You only see what you want to see
And believe me to be wrong
When I have never done so before
Not ever, in so long

I have always looked to you
When times got rough
And I thought that you did the same
But I guess I wasn't enough

I wasn't enough of a friend
For you to trust in what I had to say
If you valued my opinion
We wouldn't be were we are today

Hearts broken, family torn apart
The bond we had; gone forever
And what bothers the most
Is how he did it, how clever

Separate the family
Make the friend choose a side
Knowing I wouldn't
behind his lies he chose to hide

And you believe everything he says
You forget what we were before
You think that I want to hurt you
You don't trust me anymore

Where did I go wrong
What should I had done or said
If I would of spoken up before
Would you had listened to me instead?

He is not what he appears to be
Yet we're the only ones that see
The mask he wears so well
Is tearing you away from me

As a friend I feel betrayed
That you could not trust me
As the sister I see in you
I'm hurting more than you can see

I feel a part of me is broken
Like a knife has been stabbed in me
And you wont understand
Thats too hard for you to see

He's blinded you in such a way
Your not who you used to be
Ive been telling you for so long
Begging you to listen to me

How close were you before,
With my dad, my family?
When have we ever fought like this?
Think back and tell me.

When have you looked at us before
And saw us as the enemy?
Never, not once
We were family.

I lost you, to him
he won at the end
We lost a daughter, a sister
And I lost my best friend
