So Much Divides Us...

Once upon a time, in a land so far away,
We used to be best friends, but that isn't today.
We used to smile, laugh, and always be there.
Crazy and wild, we always used to care.
But not anymore, we can hardly even speak.
So much has happened that has made our friendship weak.
You hurt the people closest to me, took them away.
But they weren't mine to fight for, there was nothing I could say.
I picked up their broken pieces, mended them as best can.
I defended you against their hate, I played the middle man.
All along I was hurting, but you never even cared.
Never bothered to stop and see how I truly faired.
How couldyou see I was falling apart and do nothing?
What? Did you want me to write a song and sing?
I was forced to choose between friends because of you.
And I gave up one who made me smile, any idea who?
But even in the happiness I gave you, you let me fall alone.
You don't even bother to check on me. Don't you hear my tone?
I wish you'd just say sorry for everything you've done.
This isn't some stupid game. This isn't any fun.
The person you hurt most has been me all along.
The girl at your side everytime you sang a sad song.
Can't you feel the tension and resentment? Can't you feel my anger?
I feel like I've been used up and then put on a coat-hanger.
I gave you so many chances but you never did the right thing.
I swear I stared at my phone, hoping it'd just ring.
Did you ever think of anyone else besides yourself?
Did you even think before putting me on the shelf?
Did I ever matter to you? Or was it all a lie?
Could you utter the truth while looking me in the eyes?
The saddest thing of all is I'm starting to let you go,
And everything I've done for you, you'll never even know..
