Bitter Taste of Hate

by Carlee Ann   Jul 9, 2005


You called me a f u c k ing liar
When all I did was care
It's funny how you hate me now
When on my worst days you weren't there

You said that I lied
About what, the truth?
I guess it's hard to see
When we're caught up in our youth

You call me a traitor
Well, yes, that's true
I didn't want to do it
But I did - all for you.

You say now there's no trust
You don't think I realized that?
I gave up all I had worked for
To keep your safety just where it's at

The last time I kept a secret of yours
You almost committed suicide
And I just can't bear the thought
Of it being my fault had you died

So when you told me about your troubles
I couldn't risk your life
Even though I never wanted to lose you
MY feelings weren't in sight

Every decision I made that night
I made for you and that's it
And you may hate me now
Since you aren't big on forgive and forget

But I won't ride the guilt trip train
I did what was right
It hurts me you can't see
That all I did was care that night

I was so worried about you
When you've rarely expressed worry about me
I have never left your side
But you have left mine, don't you see?

I guess I knew you'd be so angry
But I didn't expect you to give me blame
I haven't f u c k ed up your life
But I'm getting accused just the same

Please don't hurt more over this
Please don't commit and die
For all I did I did for you
But you won't get to see me cry

All the days and nights I've ever been
So troubled that I can't breathe
You were rarely there
But I've never cared about me

All I wanted to do was save
But I've lost a lot, too
You mean so much to me
But I must not mean so much to you

I won't say I take it back
And you say you won't forget what I did
Well, I've forgotten all the things you've done to me
Even the times you wished me dead

I've never stopped loving you
And I suppose I never will
But if you want to blame me
Well, my heart you kill

i wish you could see what I did
Was only out of care
But I'd just like you to remember
That I was ALWAYS there

Oh, sweet justice
Taste so bitter on my tongue
I only wish we could all win
But this time you were the one.

    Very heartfelt, sounds like what you did was out of love for a friend and that friend didn't appreciate it and that is very sad. Chin up, you did the right thing. Beautifully written Car.....

    "Since you aren't big on forgive and forget"

    ok, since i've never held a grudge in my life... car, i know you did it cuz you cared... but... i didnt want anyone else to know. it wasnt anything that had to be taken care of, it was fixed by the time i finished talking to you. now i've got ppl that were always always there for me turning against me...
