Dead to Me

The ultimate betrayal
I never thought I'd see
The day that someone else
Would come between you and me.

There was once a time
When I would've died for you,
I always put you first
In everything I'd do.

The years have come and gone
We slowly drift apart,
The love I had for you
Is no longer in my heart.

We used to be best friends
Inseparable at the least,
But you've lost your sense of self
You've turned into a beast.

You just sit there in silence
And let them tear me down,
They say such horrible things
But you don't make a sound.

I thought you knew me better
But you buy into their lies,
And every time you do
A small piece of you dies.

What's happened to you?
You've changed so much,
You're no longer my friend
Your hand I will not clutch.

The more I sit and think
About the things you've said and done,
Regret, remorse and pity
In me there is none.

The part I hate the most
Is the change I've seen in me,
I am now the person
I never thought I'd be.

Who knew I could be so cold
So numb and void of care,
I said I'm done, we're through
And this is your beware.

Don't come to me for anything
Cause I will not be there,
You did this to yourself
Your life of hell I will not share.

I really hope you're happy
With the choices that you've made,
Our love is gone forever
Your own coffin you have laid.

I hope you rot away
And forgotten you will be,
The feeling should be familiar
You're already dead to me.
