Breathe

     (Breathe)
You walk up to me
Grinning and ask me how I am
I say I’m great
(I lie)
She walks up to you
Clinging to your arm
(I bite my tongue)
Me and you, we’ve been friends for a long time
(Since fourth grade)
You’ve known her for two months
And you picked her
(But I can’t blame you)
It’s not her fault
I didn’t tell you
You didn’t know
(Stupid me)
Best friends aren’t supposed to go out together
I should be supporting you
(Not hating her)
I have to grin and bear it
Be a friend
(A good friend)
You ask me if something is wrong
I smile and apologize for spacing out
(I need to let it go)
So I keep my grin and say my good-byes
Turning to leave for class
You’re so happy with her
So I won’t break that
No matter how much I want to
(...)
I’ll live
(Breathe)
