• Breaking off these webs of pain
    I never want to love again
    I gave my heart, and cruelly
    You returned it broken to me.

    I look at you now and wonder what I’d seen
    Because the person I’d fallen for had never been this mean
    But I said nothing, hoping all along
    That maybe sooner or later, you’d realize your wrong.

    Well obviously you didn’t, because here we are
    Teetering precariously close to a hopeless war
    And it saddens me greatly to think that maybe one day
    Because of self-fulfilling prophecy our friendship will fade away.

    What I see before me, a shadow of what once was
    And I’ve got the strangest feeling: telling you was the cause.
    Your attitude slowly changed towards me, pushing me away
    You picked the worst way to reject me, is all I have to say.

    I remember when I first met you, though fuzzy, not clear
    They were happy times, after drama; times that I hold near
    Cute, lovable were words I had chosen for you
    I began to think, a new best friend, and hoped you thought that too

    Yet strangely enough, now I sit, quietly broken hearted
    Wishing that my feelings for you had long ago departed.
    Because the person now in front of me, shuns me when I’m near
    They flinch at any contact and freeze up as if in fear.

    So the truth is what I’ll tell you; I’ll tell you loud and clear:
    I don’t give a damn about my feelings for you, its our friendship I hold dear
    And I don’t want something distant, something refined, something fake;
    I want a real friendship, not a long, slow, painful heartbreak.

    So here is where I’ll be waiting: I’ve been waiting all along
    Trying to keep a happy smile, to keep these broken pieces strong
    Because I know your feelings, the ones you feel for me
    And if friendship’s all you ever want, then friendship it will be.
