To My "Friends"

I'm good at giving my heart away
and getting it thrown back,
broken, in my face

Then I keep showing that smile
and wearing my mask
I'm tired of loving this much and making life a task

The problem with me is that I'm too blind to see
that everyone has evil,
there not as pure hearted as could be

but I keep on trying and giving,
loving and forgetting
and it's hurting me inside but for some reason I just keep letting

All of them take advantage of me
and don't appreciate what I do
but I wish they would just wise up a bit, and some of them get a clue

not everyone in this world will be as kind-hearted as me
not all people forgive this much
or let you people be this mean

most of the people I know would automatically shut them out
but I tend to try and bounce back from it
and never let them see me pout

so I say I'm not mad at any of them and that what they did wasn't bad
and then they do everything again
and this is driving me completely mad!

why can't you people be considerate and just realize what I feel
at least give it time before you strike again
and give me the time to heal

I know it's my fault for dealing until now
and putting up with all of this
but if you keep this up I'll lose my nerve and you'll see I don't live in bliss.

It is very hard for someone to upset me enough
for me to use the word hate
in fact only two have driven me that far, only two made me close the gate

for the rest of you I guess you win again
because I'll always call you friends
can you just try to be true and realize if you don't change it won't be very long ‘till my end.
