Turned your back on me

by Megan   Apr 7, 2005


Growing up is probably one of the hardest things to do in life.
Friends turn their back on you, and are quick to stab you with a knife.
The people you think care are not always there
That guy that said he loved you,
Turned around and found someone new.
The people you once confided in are no longer who you thought they were.
It seems that when you’ve got it all together, it falls apart and becomes a blur.
This is the story of high school and pains one must endure.
All the things you thought you knew now become so unclear and so unsure.
How can you call me your friend then hurt me so bad?
How can you talk like you care, then make me so mad?
I thought we were friends, I thought you were true.
But if this is what friendship is, I don’t want a friend like you.
He said he loved me, then messed with my friend.
Now he comes back, but this is the end.
I can’t take him back when he’s hurt me so much.
I can’t even look at him now, I can’t feel his touch.
My life used to make sense, the world used to be right.
She was my friend, and you were my life.
Then you two did your own thing, forgetting the pact that we made.
Now I can’t even look at the two of you, I feel nothing but shame.
All the things that once made sense, just blew up right in flames.
I don’t know who to trust anymore, I feel like I’m going insane.
I told her all my secrets, and you were my world.
Then you made it seem easy to go mess with that girl.
I thought high school was supposed to be the best years of all.
Now when I feel lonely I have no friends to call.
They all turned their back on me.
All they do is lie, steal, and cheat.
Then they want to look me in the face and smile like nothings wrong.
They don’t realize I’ve known their game all along.
Do I look stupid or is it you thought I would never know?
What you had the nerve to do was oh so VERY low.
But I will be strong.
I will fight to move on.
We will never be us again.
And she can no longer be my friend.
I guess next time I fall for a guy,
I better make the choice to read between the lines.
The words you said didn’t coincide with the choices you made.
But I’ll chalk it up as a loss, and move on with each day.
I will get stronger, though right now I’m weak.
I will wipe my tears when they fall down my cheek.
I won’t let another break my heart.
I will not be torn apart.
You can have her, and I will be fine.
But just know her love will never be like mine.
As for her, she was never a true friend.
How could you look at me and smile in my face time and time again?
We were like sisters, by each other through thick and thin.
Then you want to go mess with my man?
Well that’s ok because I see you are fake._|OK hope you are happy knowing you caused my heart to break.
I thought you would be there and stay by my side.
But now I see you’re nothing but one big lie.
I’m so hurt and angry at what you two have done to me.
I feel so empty and confused and just a little bit lonely.
I guess in high school, you never know who your true friends are.
It’s better to be safe and always keep up a guard.
I just never thought I had to with two of the most important people in my life.
But I guess I was wrong, ‘cause right when I turned my back that’s when you launched the knife.
I hope you are satisfied with what you’ve done.
I’ve played your game, and I guess you won.
