Ex-Friends Break Your Heart

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
