What kind of friend are you?

by Ashley   Apr 29, 2005


Our circle of friends dies,
Each our friends cry.
This so called circle comes to an end...
What kind of friends have we really been?

I go to school tomorrow wondering if I’ll have any friends...
I wonder if they’ll hate me for what I’ve done…
For how honest I’ve been.

If I shall have no friends,
Then let it be.
At least I told the truth…
It’s not my problem if they hate me.

I told her what you said,
Yes, it’s true.
But listen…you wouldn’t have wanted me to lie to you.

So why is this any different?
A friend in need…
A friend I love…
Comes to me and asks what you say about her behind her back.

I did for her,
What I would have done for you…
I told her the truth…
That you’re the one who hates her too.

That you’re the one who’s saying things behind her back…
You’re the one who’s lying to her face…
You hurt my friend…
And even though where friends,
It doesn’t matter now.
You lied to her,
And you lied to me too…
What kind of friend are you?

A true friend would never lie.
A true friend would never talk behind your back.
A true friend would be there for you when you cry…
And not be the cause of your tears.

A true friend would help you with your fears.
A true friend would stand up for you.
A true friend would not do what you do.
You hurt her,
And I’m sorry I hurt you…
But I still love you…
But I love her too.

She is my friend,
As so are you.
But you can’t treat people that way…
Would you want them to do that to you?

You may think I’m wrong,
You may think I’m dumb…
But I’m right…
And you’re wrong.

“True” is a word for friends…
But not me and you.
No one ever has a real true friend…
You know everyone talks behind someone’s back now and then.

Maybe now it’s just her turn…
But I’m not going to lie to you…
You’re no friend…
You are no better then the rest of them.

I know I talked behind her back too…
But I didn’t mean what I said…
Did you?

I also didn’t lie to her when she asked me about it…
Did you?

I told her I was sorry for what I had done…
I told her I love her…
And that she means something to me…
But does she mean anything to you?
Can you say any of the things I did?
Can you?

Can you tell her that you are wrong?
Can you tell her you’re sorry?
Can you tell her it won’t happen again?
Can you?

I don’t think you can.
Because you know it will happen again…
If not next week,
Then the week after.

You know it,
And I do too.
I’m not gonna stand by anymore…
I’m not gonna support you.

You’re wrong,
Just admit it…
Stop thinking you’re right…
You know she didn’t deserve it.

She would give up everything just to be your friend…
But would you?

No?
I didn’t think so…
