I sit in conversation sometimes
And a story will remind me of you
I'll reminisce aloud to no-one who knows
That I had a friend who wasn't true

I'll say when we've finished laughing
That you were a girl I knew
Nothing more and nothing less
Certainly not a friend who wasn't true

Except it's a lie really
To belittle you from my mind
I pretend that we were acquainted
That you never became unkind

And sometimes I let it slip
How a friend you used to be
People always looked surprised
That you're no longer friends with me

They ask in vague recollection
Why you're no longer a friend
I shrug it off, pretend I forgot
When I remember the bitter end

I apologise but sometimes
When I'm angry and someone says your name
I say awful things about you
As if I'm still playing this bitter game

But neither of us won.
Instead you broke my heart.
I reach to call you over and over again.
Pretending we were never apart.

It's worse than a lover taking your heart
A friend that becomes a foe
The trust I gave you was like no other
Although no one would ever know

You turned on me in a second
The instant you didn't understand
You bitched and gossiped and hurt me
When you should have held my hand

How could you have ripped me to pieces
Fuelled the angry mob
Weaved words of bitter hatred
While I alone was left to sob

You hurt me and took no blame for your role
Instead you let a year go passed
I needed you to be there for me
I forgave you when you asked

But where the hell are you now
With who do you spend your time?
Who gets to say that your their best friend
A title that used to be mine

I forgave you friend in the bitter end
Put aside the hurt and all the pain
Then you just disappeared once you'd eased your mind
And we'll never be friends again.

So I sit in conversation sometimes
And a story will remind me of you
I'll reminisce aloud to no-one who knows
That I had a friend who wasn't true
